Fall is in the air! We are starting to see glimpses of God's power in the slight color change on the leaves! What an awesome God we serve! The students are learning each day in Bible to trust our all-powerful God. We are in awe of God's faithfulness to His people despite their unfaithfulness to Him. What a beautiful reminder that our God who changes the seasons also holds each of us gently in His hands. We had a great time at the Walk-a-thon!

What a week in second grade! It's been such a joy this week to watch the students dig deeper into some of the Old Testament stories. During Bible time, we briefly touched on Abraham and the promise God made to him, that his descendants will be more than the starts in the sky. We saw how God kept this promise through Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph and then later as he brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. Just as God kept His promise thousands of years ago we know God will keep his promises to us! Some pictures at the end of taking some time to write outside this week!
