"What color is YOUR butterfly?" 🦋 Telling the Noah's ark story (which includes a special appearance by Noah's wife, Naamah!) with our WHOLE selves is so much fun! We ended with our pose of the day, RAINBOW POSE (arms up and out, making a beautiful rainbow that reminds us that God loves us, no matter what!). 🌈

Children will be dismissed to Godly Play afterwards, and will stay in Godly Play for the duration of the Church service.
