Thimble Thoughts: Jesus Passed By

Jesus Passed By

This month in Super Church, Brother John wants to focus on the miracles and parables of Jesus. Which is great, because I always love these stories. :) Anyway, this was our day.......

Apparently the only way these kids can sing is if they're standing in their chairs. I guess it makes them louder...I don't know. LOL


The puppets are always ready to sing with the kids. They were quite in the Spirit today!


And of course, Maw Maw (my sweet mom) is always ready to play a song....or in this case participate in it while daddy plays the trumpet.


Again with the chairs....


While in class today, I gave the children some time to sing some of their favorite songs. Since we have church on Saturday with our bus kids, they are given an opportunity to go to other churches on Sunday. So today while we were singing, several of them were singing songs they've learned at their other churches. It was so wonderful hearing them sing I just had to get them to sing their songs for Brother John. SO! when we went in for preaching time, they got up as our choir and sang. They did so good. It was such a blessing to me.


Andrew (Justin) and Febie (Hannah) did their skit about what a miracle is and how Jesus healed a blind man.


Then Brother John preached the story of the blind man taken from John 9. The bandana, in case you can't figure it out, represents the man's blindness.

And as Jesus pased by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoke, he spat on the ground.....

...and made clay of the spittle.....

and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed..........

.....and came seeing.

The children seemed to enjoy the drama that came with the sermon. I think it stuck with them too.

After preaching, we returned to our classrooms for lunch.

Uh oh....double trouble here. :)

These two don't normally spend time together during Super Church, but today, the taller one kept the little one under her wings. It was sweet.

This little girl is funny. She's a booger unless she's busy. So today I kept her pretty well busy. She helped clean the tables while the rest of us straightened up and prepared to load the busses.


It was a good day at Super Church. Oh, yes, I get frustrated sometimes because the majority of these children have no discipline at all. They come from families where there is no love and no care. When they come to Super Church, they know they'll get those things from us as we try to reach them in the name of Jesus. And maybe, just maybe, their spiritual eyes will be opened and they will see Jesus when He passes by their way.
