Seen Around Church – Week of August 4, 2024
August 7, 2024By Director of Spiritual Formation Rebecca Guzman
- Listen to a readaloud of Wherever You Are, My Love Will Find You by Nancy Tillman. This week’s Old Testament passage is not geared for children, but one thing we can take from it is David’s love for his son, Absalom. Elizabeth Boulware Landes writes, “Nancy Tillman writes about the unconditional love that is shared between parents and children. Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You reminds children that anywhere they go and in anything they do their parents’ love is going with them. This love will surround them even if they cannot feel it or see it. “
- King David made a lot of mistakes. One of the Psalms he wrote after a big mistake was Psalm 51. Verse 10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.” This page has lots of things you can print out and do: a word search, decoder, coloring page, etc.
- Continuing with Psalm 51:10, you could cut out lots of hearts and glue them onto a paper. Make different sizes and colors. On top, with a thick marker, write Psalm 51:10.
- Journal, considering the following:
- Have you ever grieved very deeply? What was that like?
- Why do you think this story is included in the Bible? What are we supposed to take from this?
- How does it feel for David to be so flawed and also be chosen by God?
