2014-15+Devotions

**What are we listening to this morning?** Every morning, devotions looks and sounds very different in the 4th grade classroom. On Wednesdays, we take a current song in Christian music and discuss the lyrics. Our purpose is to find how these songs can have a direct impact on our __//**daily walk**//__ with God. We will also do various reflective writing in our journals so we can look back to see how our faith has grown throughout the year. We can also go back to old reflections to help us in times of joy and trouble.

Join us in our walk by watching the videos and discussing the songs at home, too!
