What we learned, Sunday November 21st


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 God. We learned that God made the four seasons! Please look in your child's bag for more information.



This week in 123 Go, we talked about faithfulness. Faithfulness is doing what we say we will do. By doing things for people without being asked, or without backing out, it shows that we care for others and for God.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):
"I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your regulations." Psalm 119:30 (NLT)


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



Secret word this week is: BIRTH

This week in Highway 45 we learned more about baptism and how important it is. Many of the kids had heard the word baptism or baptized before, but didn't know what it truly meant to us as Christians. Instead of just explaining it to them, I took all the kids into the main Worship Center to see their fellow church goers be baptized. I think it really helped each and everyone of them to really grasp the importance of baptisms, I just pray that one day they will all want to be baptized and be a loyal follower of Christ always. This weeks memory verse is "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38

Today in Jammers are learning that God made the world. We learned that God made night and day! Please look in your child's bag for more information.



This week in 123 Go, we talked about goodness. Goodness is pleasing God with what we think say and do. We talked about David and how he pleased God so much that God chose him to be the next king from 1 Samuel 16.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):

“The Lord approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness." Proverbs 12:2
(NLT)


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



Secret word this week is: No secret word this week see you at the park!


This week in Highway 45 we discussed that being popular and saying yes to things we know are wrong is not as great as it may seem. Most people want to have lots of friends and be popular but sometimes that can come at a price, like making fun of someone just because they are different. We learned from Samson and Delilah that giving up something (or someone) you love in exchange for money, popularity, or power is wrong. God gave each of us a special gift, that makes each one of us unique in some way, so why would we want to spend so much time blending into the crowd? This week's memory verse I left up to the kids, since each one of them is special and unique, I wanted them each to pick out a verse that meant something to them individually.

What we learned, Sunday October 31st


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 being a light for Jesus. When we accept Christ in our lives, we need to live for Him in every part of our life. This way people can see that we are living differently, and we can set a good example showing them who Christ is.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):
"In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16 (NIrV)

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



Secret word this week is: GOODNESS

This week in Highway 45 we had fun learning about the Lord while carving a pumpkin. I discussed the Pumpkin Parable with the kids and we all said the pumpkin prayer together,
"Lord, open my mind so I can learn new things about you. Remove the things in my life that don’t please you. Forgive the wrong things I do and help me to forgive others. Open my eyes to see the beauty you’ve made in the world around me. I’m sorry for the times I’ve turned my nose at the good food you provide. Let everything I say please You. Lord, help me show your light to others through the things I do. Amen" We had a lot of fun together celebrating and learning that Halloween isn't just about candy and costumes.
