This Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2s, 3s, 4s and TK had our first Chapel of the year! We walked down to the sanctuary where we sang songs, learned the signs for "Jesus" and "God" and talked with Ms. Mindy about the sanctuary! We discussed what a sanctuary was used for, as well as the differences between it and our classrooms. Some of the differences the children noticed were:
* The size of the lights
* The seating (we discussed the word "pew")
* That there were no toys
* The pipes on the front wall (we discussed the organ and how the sound comes out those pipes)
* The stained glass windows
Ms. Mindy then showed us a picture of a cross and asked if we knew what it was and who it represented. We talked about how Jesus died on the cross so that we could live forever in heaven!
We then turned our attention up to the large stained glass window and found the cross made of peacock feathers. We learned that peacocks shed their beautiful feathers so they can grow new, more beautiful ones! Christians often use peacocks as a symbol of the new life we have in Jesus!
