C.E.M. Highlights

We had just started to become familiar with the books of the Bible in Children’s Worship before the implementation of the shelter-at-home directive. Now, with social distancing still in place, I believe we should continue learning important information pertaining to each book. Also, be sure to practice reciting the books of the Bible in the right order.

 

I would like to have parents continue this with their children while we are still at home over the next several weeks. Our goal is to become familiar with one book per week. Please help your child to learn the books of the Bible (we’re doing them in order) and the brief description of each book that will be supplied in the eNews each week. (Hint, hint, hint! Don’t be surprised if your Sunday morning teacher calls you to ask a couple of questions about the book of the Bible listed in our weekly eNews.) Let’s start with the New Testament.
