Church: Venice First Church of God

After sharing my "Journey Back to Cote d'Ivoire" PowerPoint presentation during morning worship, the youngsters and I went to Children's Church. First there was a "West African Children" PowerPoint which included learning some French phrases and ended with singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" and a Q & A time.
We then explored what "Fishers of Men" meant in general and how children can be fishers of men plus several Bible learning activities. In photos above the girls and boys race to put together a felt fish jigsaw puzzle of the memory verse - "Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." - Matthew 4:19
Following lunch together I field tested my new interactive workshop for the June North American Convention of the Church of God - "Children's Literature in Christian Education." Thank you Venice FChoG for you wonderful participation in the workshop, for your hospitality, and for your offering for my start-up budget.
