On a nature walk around the church building, Ayvah found a bird’s nest with bright blue robin eggs and peony buds.

Did you know that a peeled orange will sink in a bowl of water while an unpeeled orange will float? Hamilton Gordon made this discovery while learning that Jesus wants us to trust Him. The peeled orange showed what happened when Peter stopped trusting Jesus as he tried to walk out to Him on the water. When Peter relied on Jesus, like the unpeeled orange, he floated! Future lessons explore how Jesus healed two blind men and showed love for Zacchaeus.
Children’s Music
Musical instruments have become a special interest for Hamilton Gordon. He is taking piano lessons and played for church last summer. In Sunday School he made a guitar with button thread strings and in music a favorite activity has been coloring a large picture of a lute. He is able to play “The B-I-B-L-E” on one of the class’s xylophones and has enjoyed a variety of instruments in Sunday School during lessons on worship. Look for Hamilton on Easter Sunday to sing two songs he has been practicing, “Alleluia” and “He Is Lord”!
