Religion
Now that all the Christmas activities are behind us, we will
resume Chapter 5 of our text –Prayer and Worship. The students will be learning
that there are different kinds of prayer and worship. Some are private and
personal and some are as a community. This week we will read about King David
and the ways he worshipped God, as we explore the Book of Psalms. I am encouraging the class to explore
some of the prayers in the back of their Religion Book as well as creating
their own personal prayer journal.
