Today in Jammers we continued to learn more about Jesus. We can worship Jesus. Please look in your child's bag for more information.

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.

This week in 123 Go we continued our Christmas lesson and we talked about how Christmas is a time to love as Jesus loves. 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.

Memory Verse (worth 5 Action Bucks):

"None of you should look out just for your own good. You should also look out for the good of others. You should think in the same way Christ Jesus does."

Philippians 2:4-5 (NIrV)

Secret word this week is: (NO SECRET WORD)

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. They all had such a great time dressing up and really getting into their characters, and I had a blast watching them. 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)

Secret word this week is: GIFT

This week in Highway 45 we started our Advent Conspiracy lesson. This week we discussed worship and how important it is not just around Christmas time, but throughout the year. Every where we turn Christmas music is playing on the radio, at the mall, in elevators; and we tend to tune it all out and ignore what the songs are really about. We should all stop and take the time to listen to songs like "What Child is This?" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing". Even if we think we have heard them a hundred times, it may take that hundred and one time to actually discover what these songs actually mean and what they should mean to us as believers in Christ.

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

(NLT)

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.
