Give glory to God, not to people

The 18 children who attended Children’s Church on Sunday, Nov. 11, learned how God confused the language of humans when they stopped worshipping God and instead tried to bring glory to themselves through the building of a tower.

Teachers Karen King, Susan Racine, Kathy Krebs, and Chris Jones taught the lesson about the Tower of Babel, which was drawn from Genesis 11: 1-9. The memory verse was Colossians 3:17: “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Jesus giving thanks to God.”

For the activity, the children pasted pictures of blocks with portions of the memory verse onto paper to form their own towers. But the words on their towers stated how they should give glory to God and not to people.

At the end of the day, the children sat in a circle and thought of something God gave us and said “Yea God.”
