God's Power

Parent’s Corner- October 20, 2019

“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8 ESV

In today’s lessons, children saw a variety of encounters with the power of God. . . from a whisper in a deep sleep, to an amazing promise that would change Abram’s life forever!  All was done through the power of God, not through the hands of man.  May our children continually be in awe of the power of God and know that that same God desires to have a personal relationship with them and love them forever!
