This was our "Off Week" for the Family Check-In; we WILL have a OPCC Family Check-In by Zoom on Wednesday May 20.
Even though we did not meet this week for a Family Check-In we wanted to give you family activity to reflect on last Sunday (5/10)'s story of Creation.
First you might respond by looking up the scripture in your Bible. Genesis 1:1-2:3
This is the scripture that was in worship last Sunday. Let the children be as much involved with looking up scripture and or reading portions of our story as they are able.

Activities to Explore Together:
You have set your glory above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet;
all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the sea.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
