Sabbath School April 2

Early Bird Special: Anytime Binder and Folders
Children who arrive between 9:30 and 9:45 AM get to do a bonus activity in Sabbath School.  Today our early birds got to choose a binder or folder activity that interested them.

Nature Nugget: Flowers
Flowers are the prettiest part of a plant.  They attract pollinators that help the plant start the process of reproduction -- making new seeds for new plants to grow.  The lily is a beautiful flower with 6 long petals that sit atop a tall, erect stem.  Jesus said in Matthew 6:28, "Why do you worry?  Consider the lilies of the field."  When we are tempted to get worried about something, Jesus wants us to think about the pretty flowers.  God takes care of the flowers to make them so pretty.  Surely, he will take care of us, too.

We are learning the 10 Commandments right now.  Feel free to practice with me right here.

Mission Helper: Life on the Island
Taiti was 12 years old when he lived on Manihiki Island, an obscure tiny place in the South Pacific Ocean.  There they farm oysters for black pearls, fish, and gather coconuts.  Life is very peaceful and simple there.  Taiti's grandfather started a branch Sabbath school on the island.  Taiti enjoyed going and convinced his parents to come.  His dad had been an Adventist long ago.  Eventually, the branch Sabbath school became so big that they were able to start a church.  Taiti's family was baptized.  They all love Jesus and want to serve Him.
