Second Sunday after Epiphany
Hello parents & teachers! In Sunday School this week the children will be continuing their Sunday School lessons with teachers George and Derek. This week's lesson is titled:
"The Mustard Seed"
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
Mark 4:30-3230 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
We will discuss with the children how in The Parable of the Mustard Seed, the Kingdom of God is compared to the growth of a plant. The seed of love is sown in people's hearts. It grows slowly and silently deep within each person. Every time someone does something good, no matter how small, it is a sign that God's love is in their heart. Jesus promised that from something small, slowly over time, amazing things will grow. The children will be participating in creating a craft together based on this meaningful lesson that we will be displaying for you all during coffee hour on Sunday. We hope to see you all!
Blessings,
St. Nick's

Sunday School is for kids ages 4-12 and takes place in the undercroft from 10-10:30.
