8AA Religion
8AA is in the midst of studying the book of Exodus. We are up to the point where we will be studying how God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness, and how God still provides for us today. Since the students are not in on Thursday, the memory quiz will take place on Friday. The verse for this week is John 6:35, which can be found on page 33 of the student book.
Have a wonderful week and let us never forget to continuously give thanks to God for all the blessings He bestows upon us!
