RELIGION: We discussed the story of Jesus riding in to Jerusalem.  Thank God that He showed His love for us by giving us a king, the Messiah, who saves us.  We discussed the lyrics of “I Know That My Redeemer Loves.”  These are so powerful and these words of praise connect Christians across all time and I all places through worship. 

 MEMORY: 4/1-He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

  I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,  they comfort me.

 4/4-You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

  my cup overflows.
