Dear Parents,
Tonight our regular teach was "stuck" at work and I ended up taking over the Evensong PreK-1st Grade Class. Before I get any further, we could really use teachers during Evensong! The Evensong Sunday School attendance is EXPLODING!
First we watched a bit of a Veggie Tale movie, which was about David and the Goliath. After the movie we talked about things that we are scared about. I told the kids, that I still remember when I saw a rainbow for the first time, and when I saw the rainbow for the first time, I was soooooo scared!!!! I was screaming and no-one heard me! How silly it all sounds now. The children shared different things that they are scared of.
When David decided to fight the Goliath, the "big" people were scared of Goliath. David had picked up five stones. Just imagine how he felt when he was reaching into his pocket or pouch to choose the stone he would use!!!! Don't you wish you were there! I gave each child a stone and told them to put it under their pillow and when they feel scared, they should take that stone and remember the story of David and know that they don't need to be scared of anything! The kids were listening so intently! It was amazing. I hope they will always remember that they are not too little, and that God can use each one of us.
Thanks for bringing your children to God's House! You did the right thing!
Love, Anitta Tilly
