What we learned Sunday, July 25th

This week in Animal J.a.m. we are learning more about God. In our two year old classroom we learned how God is strong. God helps His people today, just like He helped Moses and the Israelites. In our 3 and 4 year old classroom we learned that we God is our friend who guides us. We heard the story of Elijah. This story can be found in 1 Kings 17:10-16

Today in Jammers we learned about Obeying God. For activities and more information about the story, please refer to your take home page in your child's bag.

This week in 123 Go, we learned to have a good attitude no matter what! We learned about Paul and Silas in jail, and how they chose to have good attitudes even though bad things had happened to them. We can have a good attitude no matter what because God loves us!

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):

"Dear brothers and sisters, when trouble comes your way,

consider it an opportunity for great joy."

James 1:2(NLT)

*If your child has already memorized this verse in another version, I will accept that as well.

Special Assignment (worth 10 Action Bucks):

This week choose to have a good attitude, even when something doesn't go your way. Write down what didn't go your way, and how you had a good attitude. Have your parent sign it!

Example: This week, I lost a game to my friend, but I chose to congratulate my friend instead of being upset that I lost.

Secret word (worth 5 Action Bucks): Pride

This week in Highway 45 we talked about the importance of conforming to the image of Christ and letting out our inner "Jesus freak". Kids today are so afraid to be different and worry way too much what others think about them; but if they were to spend less time worrying and more time behaving like Christ, they will be far better off and so will the people around them. This week's memory verse is "But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves." James 1:22 NLT
