This week, both groups of Tapestry kids learned about Eric Liddell. Eric was a Scottish athlete and a mighty man of God. He was born to missionary parents and became a missionary to China himself. However, God gave him great athletic abilities as well. He was an Olympic gold medalist, but more important, he dedicated himself to God, always giving Him the glory. He even missed the Olympic trials for his best event because they were held on the Sabbath. And, God blessed him by allowing him to medal in his less strong events instead. His trust in God and his outspokenness about Him makes him a role model still today. After taking some time to review what they had learned about Eric Liddell, the kids were off to the racetrack! Well, really the church lawn! The teachers measured out 100 meters (Eric's best race!) and the kids all competed for Olympic gold. When the gun sounded they were off!! They were all champions because they did their best and gave God the glory! The Five in a Row kids were busy as well! Their story this week took place in China, too! They read the delightful "Story of Ping". Ping is a little duck who ventures out onto the Yangtze river alone, when he is left behind by his family. After reading the story the kids made cute little ducks out of coiled and bended pipe cleaners and did a duck coloring page.
