This Sunday we had a very active class. Mrs. Mandracchia and Mrs. Willis taught the class. The entire Sunday School put on their gardening gloves and planted daffodil bulbs in a garden area near the playground. Ms. Emily explained to us that the bulbs need to be planted in the fall in order to establish strong roots during the winter which will then become beautiful flowers in the spring. We did this not only to beautify the grounds of our Church but also to remind us that in order to enjoy the beauty of the flowers it takes time to prepare the soil, plant the bulbs, nurture the bulbs just as God wants us to prepare and be patient in our own lives. The planting also shows how we praise God through taking care of creation. The bulbs were donated by The Little Garden Club of Rye.
After cleaning our hands of all the dirt, we joined Mrs. Rawson and Mrs. DeSantis in the Assembly room for Singing Our Faith which demonstrates our praise for God through singing. We sang Jesus Loves Me, He's Got the Whole World in His Hands and the Doxology which our entire class knew- they both were impressed that we knew it by heart. We learned a new song Go Now in Peace which we will be singing at the end of class each Sunday.
We concluded our class by reading Psalm 150 which is the last Psalm in the Bible. It tells us ways in which we should praise God.
