• I Wonder… : what made Adam and Eve eat from the tree? why they hid from God? why they had to leave the garden?

Godly Play I & II: Catechism I

• Summary: Today we move into our summer rhythm of learning Catechism questions and answers! A few things to know about Catechism:
  • Children will remain in the same Godly Play classes, but instead of having a Godly Play lesson each week, they will learn a set of questions and answers.
  • Older kids will learn more Q&A sets than the younger kids.
  • These classes are taught by our elders and deacons in order to give our RMC Kids Team a summer sabbatical and to have an additional opportunity to shepherd our RMC kids.
  • The children will bring home a worksheet to help with further study. Please feel free to review it along with the questions at home!
