Our theme this year is Welcome! Give and Receive God’s Great Love.
Today we heard the story about Abraham and Sarah welcoming three strangers and offering them hospitality—Abraham offered the strangers a place to rest, some water, some food, and he offered to wash their feet. Sarah and Abraham fixed the three visitors a delicious meal. And then the strangers had a surprise for them! They told Abraham that Sarah was going to have a baby, although she was far too old. And so Sarah laughed and said “Is anything too wonderful for God!”
We talked about ways we welcome visitors and then we shared a snack with each other, made friendship bracelets and also pictures of Abraham and Sarah and their tent and the tree where the strangers rested. And then, we went outside and played a game with a big parachute.
