Today's Bible Reading
Psalm 104:1-6
1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2Who coverest thyself with light as witha garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as witha garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Craft Materials -- Paper plates or Plain white paper - crayons , colored pencils
Craft activity : Have the children draw a picture of their choice that has water in it
and something else living- whether it is water on the grass- or a lake picture with fish.
Explain to them how God's creation serves as a reminder of who made all living things and
how water is a great blessing to all living things.

After The Rain
After the storm
Came to pass
raindrops glistened
upon green grass.
After the storm
the sky was clear-
our hearts were filled
with joy and cheer .
After the clouds rolled away
We began to see
blue skies over the bay
Reminding us ...
That God is in control
Every moment of the day.

Clsoing Hymn:
O Worship The King
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
