Sunday Did You Know

Rainbows are a phenomena caused by refraction, light reflection, and dispersion in water droplets and happen when it is raining in one part of the sky and sunny in another. The colours of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet and the easiest way to remember them is ROYGBIV.

Sunday reflection:

"and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth." Then God said to Noah, "Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth." Genesis 9:15-17
