Letters to Heaven

To correlate with our curriculum all about "Flying", we honored God by holding a balloon release!  Each class enjoyed getting to feel the sunshine as we talked about how the balloons reach Heaven just like our prayers do.  The kids had a blast watching the balloons lift higher and higher.  One kiddo even said he saw the balloons waving back at us!  In addition, each child or class composed a prayer to Heaven that we sent up to God just as we did those balloons! 1 Thessalonians 5:17 reminds us "pray without ceasing."
