First, we learned about the beginning of creation and how God created something from nothing. Reading the creation story together taught the kids that every part of creation came to life through His word and purposeful actions.

Next, we explored that God planned for people to care for His world. God created people in His image, unlike anything else He created. God placed people with the important job of caring and ruling over His creation. The kids connected with the idea that we’re partners with God in looking after His creation!

The following week, we learned that God created everyone to be like Him and to have a relationship with Him. The story of the fall of Adam and Eve taught us that we need our Saviour Jesus to restore and have a complete relationship with God.

Finally, we learned that God planned and provided for His creation. God didn’t create the universe and leave it to operate by itself. The story of Noah’s Ark reminded us that God is still at work in His creation. He doesn’t just create and leave; He provides, plans, and cares for everything, including us! He continues to be at work in His creation today.

Over the past month, our kids have given a total of $18.05 in offerings for Altars! It’s been a gift to see the kids understanding of giving through faithfulness come alive.
