Peter

Peter walks on water

 

This week in Sunday school the children learned more about Peter. We learned there is much more to Peter then him denying Christ. He was a wonderful disciple for the kingdoms of God. We also learned how relatable Peter is to each one of us. I don't know about you but I total relate to Peters many fumblings throughout scripture. It also gives me hope to know that a great man of God still didn't get it right all of the time. 

 

I love this scripture. We often focus on Peters lack of faith that makes Him sink. I think it's amazing the faith He had to step out onto the water in the first place. I am not so sure I could do it myself. For our "craft" we had a makeshift boat out of cardboard. I had the children write on the inside or draw pictures of what would keep someone from stepping out in faith. On the outside we wrote or drew how we felt when we stepped out in faith and trusted God. 

  

What a wonderful time of fellowship we had in our little cardboard boat. So much I think we will leave it up this week as well. 

I sent the children home with more stories about peter so they could get to know his story and his ministry a little better with their parents. 

We had beach themed pudding cups for snack with gummie fish and graham cracker sand. 

Be blessed! Have a great week!
