Memory Verse

 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

Romans 3:23

ACTIVITY:

  1. Why don’t you have a go at building your own tower. You can use Duplo or Lego. Paper cups or marshmallows and toothpicks. Cardboard boxes, whatever you have at home. See how tall you can get it but notice that at some point, the tower will fall.
  2. See if you can learn how to say hello in a different language.
