"So it's you who are in charge of keeping the entire commandment that I command you today...Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night." Deuteronomy 11:8,19 The Message

Sabbath Pajamas
We have previously posted on Sabbath PJ's but have added some elements. On Friday evening baths are taken and then white pajamas, worn only on Sabbath, are put on. While dressing we talk about how Jesus takes away our dirty clothes and gives us clean white clothes.
Some verses that we use to go with the lesson are: Zechariah 3:1-6, Rev. 3:4-5, 18
REQUEST:
I know most people have special things for kids to play with during church, things they only get during church. If you have anything that is special, that your child likes a lot, I would love to know what it is. If you could send a picture of it to growingtoknow@gmail.com, that would be wonderful! Thanks so much! .

scripture songs
Heather Steinke, wrote quite some time ago about a CD she found. The CD is all scripture songs and is amazing. I have to admit that the other scripture songs I have are good but they are for kids. I love this one!! It is one of my favorite CD's and I hope this group continues to write more songs. Heather says she leaves it in her car so while driving it is playing for her little one. She says they are still not tired of it. I highly recommend it! You can find it here. They allow you to listen to a sample of all the songs.
If you like that, here are some blogs that she also recommends. They have some great ideas and are very helpful.
