September 4th

Today we begin our study of God's Creation.  The following is an excerpt from our read and share children's Bible.

The First Day

Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning God made heaven and earth. At first it was empty and dark. But God gathered up the light and called it day.

Then he gathered up the darkness and called it night. God was watching over everything.

The Second Day

Genesis 1:6-8

On day two God divided the air from the water. He put some water above the air and some below it. He named the air sky.

We thank God for all He has made for us. We are learning a song about all of the things God has made.

"God made the darkness, God made the darkness, God made the darkness, He's so good to me.

God made the light, (x 3), He's so good to me.

God made the sky, (x3), He's so good to me.

God made the water,(x3), He's so good to me.
