This Week's Children's Ministry Update

We hope you had a blessed week! It was fun talking about fruit this week at JAM and Chapel. Peanut brought an old banana to Chapel to show the kids it's skin. We talked about how it's skin protects it just like our skin. Then we talked about the most infamous fruit story in the Bible, the forbidden fruit. Our verse this week comes from Genesis 3:6, Eve saw the fruit, it was pleasant to her eyes, and she ate it. We talked about how God had provided them with all their needs, but they still wanted more. At JAM we made a cookie jar with an apple in it because Eve wanted a apple like we want cookies. It represents our desire for something we really want, but sometimes we have to wait. Just like when our parents tell us we can't have cookies before dinner. Adam and Eve made a bad choice when they didn't obey God and ate the apple. We wanted to decided to obey God instead of the sneaky snake.
