WEEK 22

BIBLE

The Bible verse this week was Colossians 1:18, "And he is the head of the body, the church..." We talked about Jesus being the head of the body (the church) and it controls all parts just like our brain is in our head and it controls our whole body. All parts of the body are important and must work together. We also talked about Ezekiel.
