Learn to do what is right.

Critter Street will "Learn to do what is right," (Isaiah 1:17, NIrV) in July, 2010. God wants us to do the right thing. How do we know what the right thing is? We look to His Word, the Bible, to guide us.

While visiting the stories of Joseph and Daniel, preschoolers will hear how we can choose to do the right thing even when it's hard. We can also forgive others when they choose to do the wrong thing. Each right choice leads us closer to the path God created for us.

Remember to tell your preschooler that God who loves them, made them, and wants to be their friend forever!

Hosanna Rock!

The July song of the month is HOSANNA ROCK. If you haven't received your summer worship cd yet, please stop by the Welcome Center this Sunday! Lyrics and motions are below so that you can practice with your preschooler.
