Sunday School Snippet

Today we learned about Moses and the bronze snake.  We learned that the bronze snake was hung up on the pole and if they looked at it they would live.

James Pr5

 

An diugh latha na Sàbaid seo bha sinn a bruidhinn mu dheidhinn Moses. Bha sinn ag ionnsachadh mu dheidhinn na daoine, agus chuir Dia tòrr nathraichean thuc’. Bha na daoine duilich. Bha Maois ag urnaigh gu Dia. Chuir Maois nathair air crann.  An uair sin dh’ fheumadh a h-uile duine coimhead air an crann ach mu’n robh na daoine a coimhead air an crann bith iad a bàsachadh, ach bha iad coimhead an crann, agus cha robh iad a bàsachadh.  Tapadh leibh airson ag èisdeachd!
