Dear Parents and Caregivers,
On Sunday, March 8, we will begin our next rotation.  This month, our lesson set will be on “Jacob and Esau”.   Please read this story with your child, which can be found in Genesis 25, 27, 29, 31, 32, and 33.  The memory verse is, “Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place — and I did not know it!”  ~ Genesis 28:16.

The objectives for this rotation are as follows:
-  Find the stories of Jacob in Genesis, in the Old Testament.
-  Identify the following characters and place them correctly in the story: Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, Jacob, Laban, Rachel, Leah.
-  Discover God’s plan at work in the lives of these characters, despite their imperfections.
-  Understand that a loving, forgiving God is at work in their lives.
-  Realize that we need patience, persistence, and courage to wait for God’s timing.

Also, I’m happy to announce that the children’s ministry will be holding a fundraiser car wash on Satruday, April 18 from 9am-2pm at Advanced Auto Parts on Northshore in West Knoxville.  I am asking all parents to please participate.  All donations received will go to the children’s ministry, particularly to our VBS this summer (June 15-19).

Please continue to help your child to remember the memory verse each month.

Thank you for all your support!

In Christ,

Sarah Myers
