God's Rainbow of Love is an after-school program for children in
Kindergarten through 6th grade. The group meets every Wednesday
at 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. from September through May. The children
enjoy Bible study, music, crafts, food, and games.
The children sponsor a Fellowship Potluck Dinner and Program at the
end of each semester. This gives them an opportunity to share with
the congregation and community what they have learned in G.R.O.L.
by singing, acting, and wearing costumes that represent the theme
studied during each semester.
Themes include Christmas Traditions Around the World, Liberty
Village (an American Tour of Faith and Freedom), Peace Around
the World (learning about different cultures and what makes
them unique), Truth Trackers (learning the ABCs of becoming a
Christian, the Ten Commandments, and Bible characters), and
Camp Creation (learning about God's unconditional love).

After a storm we often see a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
A rainbow is a curved arc of light across the sky with colors
consisting of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Rainbows are caused by the sun's shining through drops of
water during or after a rain. The Bible tells us the rainbow
is a symbol of the promise God made to all people and animals.
The story of the rainbow can be found in Genesis 9. |
Then God told Noah and his sons, "I am making with you and your
descendants, and with the animals you brought with you -- all
these birds and livestock and wild animals. I solemnly promise
never to send another flood to kill all living creatures and destroy
the earth. " And God said, "I am giving you a sign as evidence of my
eternal covenant with you and all living creatures. I have placed
my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my permanent promise
to you and to all the earth. When I send clouds over the earth,
the rainbow will be seen in the clouds, and I will remember my
covenant with you and with everything that lives."
