How are we doing so far?

JUNE: Learning Objectives:
2 BIG questions to be explored and answered this summer
Who am I? and Why am I here? Both answers will be discovered as we study Genesis 1-2

What do I want them to KNOW . . . I want the kids to know that God created the universe, the cosmos in which we live in. I want them to understand that God has given humankind the responsibility to work and care for his creation/cosmos, and that He created us to be in relationship with Him and one another – people, animals, creation.
(This reflects the 10 commandments: 4 commands were focused on our relationship with God,
6 commands were focused on our relationships within the community)

What do I want them to FEEL . . . I want the kids to feel the incredible awesomeness of God’s creativity, His love through the in which He created our cosmos, His desire and pleasure to be in relationship with his creation [us], particularly with Humans

What do I want them to DO . . . I want the kids to daily respond to God’s invitation to spend time with him, to identify ways they are personally responsible to care for the world/cosmos,live simply so others can simply live.
