Malachi's First Message

The students meet Malachi for the first time--he is six days old (his first time out)

Malachi preached his first message at six days. The students were really in tune as we shared about the book of Malachi and why we named him Malachi.

Here I am sharing about "my messenger" (I look like I'm feeling a bit weak, eh? First time out of the house, you know).

Thanks to my high school friend, Jana, I had a song for Malachi 1.11 that I taught to the students. "My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought unto my name, for my name will be great among the nations."

Here is the middle school learning about Malachi. It was encouraging to hear them repeat back to me what they had learned. Exactly the main points of the book. Good listening, students!

Morning moments outside Nate's classroom. We love you, buddy.

Attempt at a photo shoot--Elijah was not so fond of the idea.

Papa loves you!

First drum lesson. After a few strikes of the drum Malachi started to cry. Nate said, "Well, that is enough drum lessons for one day!"

A random cute picture on his one week birthday! I had him wear this outfit each saturday in honor of his first day of life. I love his eyes and poofy cheeks.
