Image-Bearers (Pre-K all the way through 8th)

All classes have been learning/reviewing that we were created in God's image. 

The following verses were read and discussed in classes:

•  Genesis 1:26-27 - "Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
• Psalm 139:13-15 - " For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth."
