Our bible lesson is Noah’s Big Boat. We learned that Noah built an Ark to put 2 of each kind of animal into it along with him and his family because God was going to flood the earth. God sent a rainbow as a promise to never flood the earth like that again.
Memory Treasure: “I trust in you, O Lord” Psalm 31:14
K-1st: Mrs. Eckstrand
Our Bible lesson this week is God's Promise to Abraham. God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as many as the stars, and that the Savior would come from his family. Even being very old Abraham and Sarah had a son and named him Isaac. "(God) wants all people to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth" 1 Timothy 2:4 is our memory treasure. We can help by telling our descendants about God's promise too.
