-This week was our Faith Family Group Activity. After opening in Chapel with a Baptism song we went to classrooms for a devotion about color. We learned about the color for Advent. It is blue and represents the HOPE we have in Jesus. We then made Christmas cards to sent to soldiers in the military. An important part of Faith Families is building relationships around Jesus, so we played a get to know you game. We closed in the church with our Baptism Remembrance celebration. It is great to see our older students helping the younger students while they make cards to share the HOPE we have in Jesus.
