Order Discovering

In God's creation, there exists an order that is seen in a multitude of shapes, numbers and patterns that can only be the result of the omnipotent, good, and all wise God....This diving proportion, existing in the smallest to the largest parts... reveal the awesome handiwork of God and His interest in beauty, function and order. - Shapes, Numbers, Patterns, And The Divine Proportion In God's Creation

This is the core of our throughline this month - order discovering. 

This morning in chapel we framed our discover of order in God's creation with the words of Job 37:5: 

God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways;
    he does great things beyond our understanding.

One shape found in God's creation is the "golden spiral". We can see that in seashells, hurricanes, rams' horns, DNA, growing fern leaves, sea-horse tail, cochlea of the human ear, whirlpools, seed patterns... and on and on and on. Our God is an amazing creator!

We then explored Fibonacci's numbering sequence. You can learn more about that here:

Our students then went with their cross-graded GIFT groups (Growing In Faith Together) and worked on discovering order in a series of circles.
