My daughter is home for the week because of COVID exposure at school. While I was at school teaching, my wife was at home with our daughter. Apparently, the pair played a lot today.
The most elaborate part of their play involved church. My daughter dictated a bulletin to my wife complete with announcements, a call to worship, hymns, and two (apocryphal) scripture readings.
Some highlights:
- The call to worship which featured the image, “The Lord is my anchor.”
- A reminder that the men’s breakfast is next week at 8am
- A children’s story
- An OT passage about Jacob and Esau featuring the verse, “I will only give you this stew if you give me my inheritance.”
- A NT passage about Jesus’s baptism that included the verse, “If you do not baptize me, I will not fulfill God’s words.” It also featured the statement, “The clouds parted and God flew down like a dove.”
- A sermon delivered from my daughter to my wife.
Worship is spiritual education. It begins at home. My wife and daughter were busy learning outside of school today.
