This week in 123 Go we picked back up on our Berry Blast Theme Park lesson, this week's main point was self-control and thinking of what God wants me to do before I act. We don't always think before we say or do things, and sometimes that can have terrible consequences or hurt people we care about. Sometimes we just need to stop and think about what would God want from us and we'd all be much better off.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):
"A person without self-control is like a city with broken down walls." Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)


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



Secret word this week is: PATIENCE

This week in Highway 45 we started memorizing the books of the bible. We will be focusing on five books at a time, I don't want to overwhelm the kids but at the same time I thinking having each book from both the Old and New Testament memorized is important and something that the kids will use for the rest of their lives. So parents, if you could please help your children memorize their five books every week it would be a huge help to me Sunday mornings. This week is: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

Jesus gave so much to others, but he didn't give money or presents, he gave his time, talents, prayers, but most of all, his love. We can all learn a lesson from Jesus this Christmas by giving more from our hearts and not just our wallets.

This week in Highway 45 we acted out a little skit that told a story about the 3 wise men and how they decided on what gifts to bring the baby Jesus.

We were all laughing, enjoying each other's company, smiling from ear to ear, and learning about Jesus...and isn't that what Christmas is all about?

Secret word this week is: CELEBRATION

This week in Highway 45 we continued with our Advent Conspiracy lesson, and our main focus this week was sacrifice. The kids were split up into teams and had to work together learning along the way that they wont always be able to get what they want, and that sometimes they need to sacrifice things to better themselves and others. This week's memory verse is crucial and I want all the kids to have it memorized by next week. "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Hebrews 13:15-16 (NIV)
