But, they might get the learning to trust God message if the gospel using just the first part of "The First New Year" in which Adam and the animals learn that after the sun goes down it always comes up again. They can trust God on that - an lots of other things. OR, especially if summer is coming, focus on verses 11-12 of Psalm 96. Start by displaying and discussing items from the sea, field and sky. Then, read the two verses asking the children to echo each phrase as you read it. If you do this with the children, both they and the adults will hear those verses more clearly when they are read. Hope this helps.Worshiping with Childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023055938126631743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995851195771634116.post-84600927817240924562016-05-25T13:16:51.042-04:002016-05-25T13:16:51.042-04:00Carolyn - Any suggestions for how to adapt this we...Carolyn - Any suggestions for how to adapt this week's readings for the VERY young -- 3's and 4's?

However, I have to say during the many hours I have spent trawling through local stuff most of the stuff for kids happens "out in the Hall" not in the church, which you are so good at. I just thought you might have something simlar in the US that we could adapt. Your ideas are always a good starting point and I usually adapt. Thanks anyway.

It was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed learning some about the indigenous peoples and learned just enough to know that I don't begin to understand the complexities. So, I know better than to even attempt suggestions. I am however impressed that you have a National Reconciliation Day. Some of the rest of us could use one too.
