The first picture we have of God in the Bible is of a magnificent Creator. Creation is a favorite Bible story for many of our young students. God creates so many amazing things: the stars, the flowers, the octopus, the elephants. He takes the void and makes beauty. And then God creates people, uniquely in His image. One of the ways South Side students display the image of God is by being creators themselves. The next time you are in the building to drop off a preschooler, help supervise lunch, or to check a locker for the lost sweatshirt, take a look at the amazing art work up on our walls. From creating owls, to sharing God’s amazing story, to writing about being kingdom builders, our students are displaying their God imaging creativity in so many ways!
