Week Five

Friday morning, each table had a set of alphabet cards to
arrange in ABD order. 

One of the main goals was to work together to reach
the goal.

Each table approached it differently.

And the Red Table was the winner! First to get the
job done. :-)

Rock Project

Zion elementary students meet monthly with mixed age groups as "Faith Families" to do different activities and grow in their faith.  This week they learned about being Living Stones.  They learned that we are a living stone alive in the Lord and together we make a spiritual house dedicated to the worship of our Lord.  Each child decorated a stone to be used as an outdoor art reminder that we are living stones and we stand in Christ. 

Though Early Childhood classes are not yet part of the Faith Families, we did get the opportunity to each decorate and contribute a rock. :-)
