저희 유초등부는 매주일 K-5학년 학생들과 모여 하나님께 마음과 정성을 다해 예배를 드리고 말씀을 배우며 삶 속에서 하나님을 더욱 사랑하고 이웃을 사랑하며 함께 자라나는 곳입니다.
저희 교회 비전센터에 들어오시면 왼쪽 벽에 역대하 7장 성경구절이 적혀있습니다. 솔로몬이 성전을 지은 후, 기도하였을때 여호와께서 에게 나타나셔서 하신 말씀입니다.
“내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 성전을 삼았으니 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 이제 이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니이는 내가 이미 이 성전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름을 여기에 영원히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기에 있으리라” 이 말씀처럼 저희 아이들이 어린나이일 때부터 하나님을 찾고 기도하며 죄를 회개하고 우리의 죄를 용서하시고 생명을 주신 예수님께 감사드리고 남은 삶 속에서 성령님을 의지하여 말씀에 순종하며 하나님 안에서 목적과 꿈을 찾아 주신 달란트를 하나님 나라를 위해 살아 세상의 빛과 소금이 되길 기도합니다.

Kids Blog-"Do whatever he tells you."
Last week, kids learned that Jesus performed miracles to help people believe that He is the Messiah, the Son of God.
Bible Story: Jesus Changes Water Into Wine, John 2:1-12
Bible verse: What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. John 2:11
John 2 records Jesus' first miracle at a wedding in Cana. Jesus, his disciples, and his mother has been invited to the wedding. But during the wedding celebration, the wine ran out. Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." She was probably hoping and expecting Jesus to resolve the problem. But to the readers' surprise, Jesus replied, "My hour has not yet come." Mary could have said to Jesus, "Why don't you do something about it? Do you not see how urgent this situation is? They need wine right away! You should help them." Instead, Mary simply said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Mary was patient and trusted in God's Will.
Nearby there were six stone water jars, each holding from 20-30 gallons. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water." And the servants filled them to the brim. The servants could have been puzzled and asked themselves, "Why do we need to fill the jars with water? We need wine, not water!" But like Mary told the servants, they did whatever Jesus told them to do. They obeyed Jesus' Word. Then Jesus said something to the servants that was more confusing than his first instruction. He told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." The Bible does not say the servants refused to listen to Jesus' instruction because it did not make sense in their head, instead they obeyed Jesus once again without complaining. The master of the banquet tasted the water which had been turned to wine and he was amazed! He did not know where it had come from. As a wedding planner, he had no idea who saved the wedding last minute! But the servants knew that it was Jesus who had turned water into wine! The master of the banquet called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink, but you have saved the best ill now!"
When the wine was gone in the midst of chaos and problem, Mary and the servants calmly obeyed Jesus. Mary believed that Jesus would do what was best, so she told the servants to listen to Jesus. Even though Jesus' instruction might have not made sense, the servants did what he told them to do. When was the last time we questioned and doubted God's Word instead of being obedient, patient and calm? Let us pray and ask God to give us faith to obey Him for He knows what is best.
