Slime in the Sunday School Room

Matthew 6:14-15
If you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, your Father in heaven will forgive you. But if you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

This week in Sunday school Bartholomew and the Oobleck reinforced the Gospel lesson. We talked about the importance of not only saying "I'm Sorry" but "I forgive you.". The kids made slime to remind us how gunked up our hearts get when we can't apologize and admit when we're wrong as well as how harmful it is to refuse to forgive. Oobleck is powerful stuff.

Green Eggs & Ham or A Whale of a Tale

This week in Sunday school we watched Dr. Seuss's Green Egg's and Ham and listened to the music from "Oh, Jonah!". Like the character in Green Eggs & Ham, Jonah wasn't sure about trying out something new, and being a preacher-man in Ninevah sounded pretty new to him! But Sam-I-Am and God are very persistent. God has a way of following you around, even into the belly of a whale, until you end up where he wanted you to go. And if you're open to his message, it may just be the best thing you've ever done....or tasted.
