February 6th

February has started out cold and blustery. We are once again thankful to have the commons available to us for recess. We love to run and play, kick and throw balls and crawl through tunnels.

This week's Bible story comes from Luke 5 & 6 

 Found in our Beginners Bible:

Helpers and Friends

Jesus know that he had much work to do. He wanted to have some good friends who could help Him. One day Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. He saw town boats there. Peter and Andrew were fishing from one boat. James and John were mending a net in the other boat. Jesus called to them, "Come and follow me."  And they did.

Later, Jesus passed by a tax office. There was a man there named Matthew. Matthew's job was to take the taxes, the money the people paid to the king. Jesus looked at Matthew.

"Follow me," Jesus said. Matthew got up and followed Jesus. Jesus asked twelve men to be his helpers. Besides Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew, he called Philip, Bartholomew, Simon Thaddaeus and Judas.
