We've Got the Whole World in our Hands

Today we went to the Quaker meeting again. This time was the first time my youngest son went to the children's class during worship. Since it was his first time and he didn't know anyone, I went with him.

The children (there were 9 of them) are learning a song to sing in front of the adults in a few weeks. It's an updated version of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". In the process of practicing this song, they are talking about taking care of the planet and how we all have the world in our hands and it is up to us to take care of it. They talked about pollution and recycling and what it means to "go green". It was very cool. The only way it differed from a UU RE class was that during the children's message, they talked about how God loves them all no matter what they do. Nothing that they could ever do would make God give up on them. And then at the very end of class they had the children bow their heads and they said a prayer thanking God for all of the children, asking him to take care of them this week and to help them remember the song they're learning and what it all means.

I thought it was a nice class. And they had snack which sold my son. ;-)
