Days of Creation

I have the opportunity to teach a class on Wednesday nights to a variety of kids. Last week we had 13 kids, the biggest group so far. The kids range in ages from three to thirteen. Some of the kids have never been to church at all (we meet in a home), and some have been in church their whole life.

We studied the days of creation using a bunch of repetition, honestly because I had just flown into Reno a few hours ago and was tired, but also because with seven days you have to do something to keep the days straight!

A sat in the class with his little brother and listened attentively for the class. I was afraid it would be way below his level, but was glad that he was there. It's always encouraging for preschoolers to have a familiar face in new surroundings.

When we finished the class I asked everyone what they learned. A said, "honestly, I learned that everything was created in seven days. I had never heard that before!"

So many times I tell these stories like everyone knows them, but I am learning that I can't take any knowledge of the Bible for granted. It's great to be able to see someone hear and understand Bible stories for the first time.

Please pray for A and his family as they continue to come to church and hear about Christ.
