Builders at Work

In Sunday School, our preschoolers were builders today--but instead of blocks, we used frosting and graham crackers. We built houses, churches and schools--a little crooked, a little sideways and a little wobbly.

Our teachers were builders today, too. Not with frosting and graham crackers, but with smiles, Bible verses, Buddy the puppet, a Bible story and lots of playing, listening and talking. We were building hearts and minds and lives. And just like our graham-cracker buildings, the lives we're building are a little imperfect. But, just like the song we've been singing, "Every day I'm growing up, a little bit more, a little bit more."

What I learned today: Playing the Bible Story Review Game "What's Missing?" was a big hit! First I took away a storytelling figure, and then once the kids got the hang of it, I let them take away a figure or two. We could have played for an hour!

I'm wondering...how much of the graham crackers and frosting got eaten? I'll bet Buddy was sneaking some bites on the side when you weren't looking!
