PEEK AT OUR WEEK
Religion: Chapter 14: Jesus shows God’s Love: Jesus spent his life doing good. The children learn how his tender compassion for people who are sick or suffering comforted them and how his divine power healed them. From this the children learn that they, too, must be concerned for others.
Chapter 15: Jesus teaches us to love God: Jesus’ love for his Father prompted Jesus to commune with him in prayer and to fulfill his Father’s will. The children learn that love of God calls for a wholehearted response. They are introduced to a simple morning offering.
