BIBLE VENTURES



Our sunday school is taking a summer break but will be back in the fall.

We have finnished up our study of Genesis for the year.
Yes, the kids have studied THE WHOLE BOOK OF GENESIS!
And they are pretty good at remembering all of the wonderful stories of God’s provision for His people.
We learned that our God is:
powerful, loving, forgiving and generous.
He uses sinners and saints alike.
He can take our weaknesses and make us mighty!
He promises to BE OUR GOD and to walk with us everyday anywhere we go.
And He loves us, even when we don’t deserve His love.
WHAT A GREAT GOD WE HAVE!
