Reflecting on our week: 

This week in Faith Families we learned that Jesus loved all people, even those who were hard to love.  John 13:34 tells us,

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” God wants us to share His love with others so that others will know Him. Jesus loved us so much that He died to forgive us and rose to give us Life. We painted wood pieces that will be put together to make a cross. The cross is a reminder of Jesus’ great love for us. This cross will be hung in the church for Lutheran Schools Week. We also we able to spend some time getting to know each other and our different interests. It is always good to end our time in the church and remember and celebrate baptismal birthdays.

Although it was freezing cold outside our class was warming up their brains in the STEAM lab on Friday! With the Winter Olympics right around the corner our class will add in a few Electra events. Today students were charged with the task of creating something to help Electra carry a flag for the opening STEAM Electra Olymipics.
