(Translated: Baptist Church)
So here in our happy little job city, the kids have gotten the chance to participate in a budding children’s program at the local church. We meet under a tree’s shade outside of the church building on a straw mat (like the one at the bottoms of the pictures below). The little ones sit on the edge of the mat and draw in the sand a little when they get squirmy during the lesson. So far our kids make up about half of the class. It’s simple, Biblical and a lot of fun for the kids to get specialized lessons. Our church leader’s wife leads the lessons and I get to be support staff, sometimes helping in lesson planning and helping her with curriculum access.
Each Sunday the Sunday School classes have someone stand up during Sunday morning service and explain what they learned that morning in Sunday School. This past Sunday, the children’s class put on a small presentation, acting out their story lesson and singing about it.
Rachael, being the strongest Portuguese reader in the group (Go, Rachael!), read the Bible text. Then Abi got to be the paralytic coming to Jesus to be healed.
Rachael (because 3 of the kids came late this Sunday) also got to be a mute first receiving the ability to speak from Jesus.
Then they all sang this song:

Translation: Jesus cures the paralytic, cures our soul, cures our feet, our hands and our bodies.
It was a great Sunday in the children’s program celebrating that only Jesus can heal us and has proven it through miracles in the past.
