U is for Us – We are part of God’s plan.
Z is for Zenith – The point directly above us – God is the focus of all creation and every life even the way the north star or the north pole give direction
Z is for ZOO – Think about how all animals play a part in God’s creation. In the same way, all people play a part in God’s church.
