October 1

After 40 days and 40 nights, the rain stopped, but it still wasn't time to get off the boat. Water was everywhere. One day Noah let a little dove fly out to see what was happening on the earth. It brought a green leaf back. Hooray! The plants were growing again! It was almost time to come out!

When everyone was out of the boat, Noah built an altar. He thanked God for keeping them safe. Then something wonderful happened! God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky an made Noah a promise. "It will never flood over the whole earth like that again," God said. When God make a promise, He keeps it.

This week our class is working with a partner to paint, color and glue Noah's ark and the animals. We will also create our very own rainbows to help us remember God's promise.

Check out the fun we had today:
