Curious Objects NeededDo you have an object which would spark a good conversation, cause someone marvel at the natural world, or wonder what does that thingamabob do? It could be a fossil, pointe shoes, or a tool for a specific job. I am looking for anything interesting that a child might not ordinarily see.
Could the Sunday School borrow your object for one Sunday morning? (And if you are wiling, would you come for 5 minutes and talk about your object. It is so nice for the children to meet people in the congregation.)
This summer the Sunday School’s teaching unit is called The Genesis Museum. We are going to be talking about many Curious Objects and marvel at a world filled with beauty and wonder and remind us how much God loves us.
