A visit from Miss Steinbacher

We welcomed our director of Children's Ministries for 2 days to our S.S. class.  Miss Angie Steinbacher (daughter of our PE teacher and a Zion alum) taught in China for 6 years.  She brought her experience to our classroom with various stations and foods for us to try.  Miss S. taught win a home for orphaned kids with disabilities and then at an international school.  Our kids were encouraged to appreciate and respect people who are different from us  (even if we may not like the taste of seaweed!) and how God can use gifts and talents in ways we could not even imagine.   Thank you Miss S. for the great experience!  Next week, we will be writing encouraging letters to send to some of her mission contacts.
