Bible Highlights

This week's Bible lessons will focus on the story of the "Ten Healed of Leprosy."  It illustrates the point that thanking God for answered prayer is something that Jesus expects from us.  The children will be challenged to express their thanks and praise to God for answered prayer, just as the one leper did, rather than ignoring God's wonderful mercy in the manner of the other nine lepers.  The scripture text is Luke 17:11-19.
