With Apologies

I didn't get last Midweek's info up, but will do better tomorrow.

Here are a few things, though:

I could tell most of the kids worked on their memory the previous week. I certainly don't expect that the 3rd graders would know the memory as well as the 7th graders. What I'm looking for from each child is some sign that they are thinking about the memory, and that this is becoming part of their life. I also wanted to send a reminder that the kids need to work on memorizing both the catechism lesson and the bible verse provided in their folders.

Last Wednesday we worked on the 3rd and 4th Commandments. Questions to consider might be, "What does despising preaching and God's word look like?" "What is special about God's word?" "Why does God demand such honor and respect for our parents?" "Why does the explanation to the 4th commandment feature 'honor' before 'love' in how we are to treat our parents?"

Note to 7th grade parents and guardians: Please plan on joining us for a short meeting after Midweek at 5:35. If you can't make it please let me know another time when we can meet.
