Grade 4 CRE Creation โ Family Members Notes
CRE: Creation โ Family Members
Today we learn how families were part of God's plan when He created people. Families help us to love, care and grow. In Kenya many children live with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. All these people are family members.
Simple Bible point
Genesis tells us God made man and woman and gave them the gift of family. Families show God's love when they care for one another.
