Wow church went long to day. We also didn't have the most high-energy
lesson planned for the day. This made the class seem tired and slow.
Scene at Jesus' empty tomb.
Our tomb scene was awesome, making a good introduction to the day's
lesson. The puzzle was easy for the older children and the younger
children were able to do a good portion of it. We still need to continue
after the older children finished though. I'm not sure how everybody liked
singing, but they sang so it was worth it at least. As the service went on
we did a reading thing, followed by a writing thing. At this point the
children were ready to leave. Sometimes it is not easy to keep young minds
on the same subject for a whole hour straight.
