Ephesians 2:10

We started last night with a reminder of who God says we are. Then Jan had an amazing lesson about reading the Bible. Reading the Bible is an important part of getting to know God. You need to read it to learn and gain knowledge. However if you don't understand what you are reading, it doesn't have the meaning it should. Jesus is a great story teller. He uses imagery and metaphors to explain his "lessons". We enjoyed reading and discussing some of his Parables about sharing the word. Thank you Jan Treffer Thompson for an engaging lesson! Thank you Chloe for the above Bible verse! Thank you Justin Hodgson for joining us to sing a few songs! We really enjoyed our worship time! Congratulations to Trace for winning the hotseat with a verse from Exodus!
