Our God, We Thank Thee
Opening Prayer: May we gather together today and appreciate everything God has blessed us with - giving thanks to Him alone for all things.
Today's Memory Verse:
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee,
and praise thy glorious name. -1 Chronicles 29:13
Hymntime
FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Refrain
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
Refrain
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
Refrain
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
Refrain

Writing/Drawing Activity:
Have the children take the time to write a " I Am Thankful To God for .." list
of all they can possibly think of .
For those who prefer to express
their praise and thanks to God in drawing form - tell them to
fill up their picture/drawings as much as possible with all the things
they can think of in which God has blessed them with .

**If any of the children would like to share their " Thankful To God" lists and/or
drawings with World Sunday School , we would love to hear from them
and perhaps post some of their lists and drawings on the website.
