Welcome to June!
Our theme this month is
THE CREATION STORY

Our Bible story is Genesis 1.1 -31
Memory Verses
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
~ Genesis 1:1

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.
~Genesis 1:26
