What we learned, Sunday October 24th


This week in Animal J.a.m. our 2 year olds learned about God making them and the things around them our 3&4 year olds learned about God making the earth. Please look at your take home sheets for more information
Today in Jammers we continued to learn more about Jesus. We learned the Jesus takes care of us! Please look in your child's bag for more information.



This week in 123 Go, we talked about how God wants the best for our lives. We need to obey Him even when it doesn't make sense. We heard the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho from Joshua chapter 6. Walking around a city may have seemed silly to some of the people, but they obeyed God, and He had plans for them to enter the promise land.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD. ' They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'"
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
*If your child has already memorized this verse in another version, I will accept that as well.



Secret word this week is: LIGHT

This week in Highway 45 we discussed the importance of saying no when you know something isn't right, even if you are the only one. It isn't easy to just say no when friends or family are trying to convince us to do something we don't want to do, or don't want to be the only person not taking part. As we read in Daniel 6 about Daniel and the lions den, Daniel never stopped praying and doing what he knew was right even though it could lead to his demise. But God protected Daniel and saved him for believing and trusting that God would be there for him because he did what was right. So I dared the kids that the next time someone is pressuring them to do something they don't want because they know it is wrong, they should give it to God and trust that he will help them through it. This week's memory verse is "To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me." Psalm 25:1-2 NIV

This week in 123 Go, we talked about how important we are to the church. Each person has special gifts and talents that we can use to serve others in the church. In God's eyes we are all equal and we all need to participate and be at church to make it work the best way it can. We heard the story of God having the Israelites build a tabernacle. They all worked together and used gifts God had given them. You can read more about this story in Exodus 25-26.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10

Secret word this week is: PROMISE

This week in Highway 45 we discussed the importance of trusting God, even when bad things happen to us. All of us at some point in time have had something really bad happen to them; but that does not mean that God is punishing us or that he doesn't love us, God has a plan for everything he does. Even though it maybe be difficult to understand what His plan is, we just need to give everything to Him and trust Him fully. This week's memory verse is "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

And don't forget this Friday October 15th from 6:00-9:00 is our Highway 45 Pumpkin Painting event. Just bring a small pumpkin to paint and we'll provide the food and fun, see you then!

This week in 123 Go, we talked about Loving God and Loving others! God gave us the 10 commandments to help us love God and love others better. The first 4 commandments help us show love to God, and the second 6 help us show love to others. You can read the story of God giving the Moses the 10 commandments in Exodus 19:1 - 20:21.

Memory Verse (worth 15 Action Bucks):
“Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39 (NLT)

Secret word this week is: CHURCH

This week in Highway 45 we discussed how Jesus is with us everywhere, no matter where we go or what we do. My dare for the kids this week is: Every time they change location, and I do mean every time-- when they leave their bedroom for breakfast or leave their house for school or leave school for soccer practice-- whenever and wherever we go, remember that God is with us, and thank him for always being with us. This week's memory verse is "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
