I will give you 2-3 minutes to discuss the best way to act our your day. When you are ready, I will read the script and you will act it out at the same time. After each day, we will all say “And God saw that it was good.” I also want your table to come up with a way to celebrate God’s excitement. Each table should have a unique way to celebrate.
Kids……Which one is most pleasing to God?
If you want to calculate your footprint here are a few sites although there are plenty of them out there.Has anyone calculated theirs?I did this and came out above average……now I know I have work to do.
