Steve's children's church class




Steve teaches the 6-7 year old class every other Sunday night. They can be a rowdy bunch, but Steve has managed to bring focus into their lives! (smile) This picture is from this past Sunday when they made bracelets with the colors of the wordless book. Steve is teaching on the fruit of the Spirit and this time the subject was love. He explained that Jesus gave the greatest example of love when He died for us, and that we show love to others when we tell them about Jesus. They had a great time making the bracelets...they all wanted to make several to give to their siblings or friends! Michael really enjoys having Daddy teach his class and has gained the self-confidence needed to recite the memory verse in front of the class each week. Michael and Yan (front right) are the faithful duo that always come with the memory verse memorized!

What a wonderful group of children! Surely Steve is learning as much as the children when it comes to maintaining the attention span of youngsters. I can close my eyes and see and smell Brazil when I see these pictures. Love, Mom R.

So do you guys have church on Sunday night instead of Sunday morning in Barzil? That's neat. It looks like a great group of kids that is a blessing to teach! I love working with that age group at my chruch.
