We started with the Catechism: Q: Who made you? A: God. Q: What else did God make? A: All things. And then I told them about how that cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree, flour from grass seeds, and syrup from the ‘blood’ of a tree. We added salt from the sea, an …
I had the joy of teaching the youngest members of our flock yesterday. We started by talking about where our favorite breakfast foods come from.
