On Saturday 24 February 2024, the Sunday School children of Voëlvlei Congregation held an event called "Planting Seeds of Thanks." The event began with a music practice and a short reflection on things to be grateful for. The children reflected on their thankfulness to God, their parents, food, shelter, and friends.
The purpose of the activities was to instill a daily habit of giving thanks. The first activity taught the children how to sow seeds and grow vegetables to bring to God's altar. The kids were excited to choose their vegetables and get their hands in the soil.
The second activity involved personalising Thanksgiving tins or jars with various creative objects to choose from. The Sunday School teachers assisted the children as they decorated their containers with excitement and creativity, bringing joy and fun to the event.
