Dear Family,

Just a note to let you know how much we’re looking forward to the next six sessions of your child’s church school class. The unit we’re studying is called “Imagine . . . God Creating Everything,” and each week we’ll be diving into a different part of God’s creation story. In addition to experiencing the awe and wonder that come from considering the wonderful world our God has made, we’ll be using every chance we get to respond with songs, prayers, praise, and thankfulness.

Speaking of songs, the Scripture we’ll be memorizing for this unit (Genesis 1: 1, 31a) has been set to music to help us learn it together. If you’d like to listen to the song or download it, go to www.dwellcurriculum.org and look for the song title “It Was Very Good.” The other song we’ll be learning is also a great one to sing with your child at home. It’s called “Thank You, Lord, for Making Me,” and you’ll also find it on the Dwell site.

Talk with your child about creation—your favorite animals, places, fruits, flowers, vegetables, and more—and look for ways you and your family can take care of God’s world. You’ll find the stories we’re learning each week on the Show and Share paper your child brings home. Encourage your child to “show and share” it with you!

Sincerely,

Dear Family,

Today we talked about all the good gifts of fruits, vegetables, and plants that God created for us. We would love to share these good gifts with those in need. Please consider donating one or more of the nonperishable in-gredients from a favorite meal in your home. Place any items you can donate in the bag and send it to class with your child next week so we can donate them to the local food pantry. Thank you for your help.
