Asking Them Questions – v2

Beginning in quiet
after sounding a welcome
“Good Morning” shouted
praise out loud
Asking them questions
to prime the pump
Opening doors, hearts
Opening minds to love

Sharing with them
certain aspects of God
How He sent us Jesus
how God loves us so
Beginning with a question
about the lesson to come
Gathering the children to God
offering them God’s love
