*At chapel yesterday, we announced our next mission project!  Read the following for more information. 

Second Quarter Mission Project--Operation Christmas Child--Collection ends Friday, November 15

Shoeboxes filled with school supplies, hygiene items, toys, and Gospel materials will share the Good News of God’s love and the TRUE MEANING of Christmas with children all around the world.  A sack is coming home today! Please fill up a sack to help us with our efforts!  Money donations are also wonderful, as shipping adds up to $9 per box.  Would you prayerfully consider adding a few items to your shopping lists over the next few weeks?  Any and all donations go a LONG way to fill up as many boxes as we can.  You can place your items in the designated box at the school.

Shoeboxes will be packed for BOYS and GIRLS in three different age groups:

2-4 years old              5-9 years old              10-14 years old

*Our packing party will be Wednesday, November 20 (parent help is always appreciated!).

Here is what else we have been up to this week:

Religion-

This week, we worked on our Chapel program, remembering how AWESOME our God is!  The kiddos did a fantastic job!  In class, we learned about Gideon, and how God called him to help His people!  God also calls on us in the same way! 

Here are some pictures of us practicing, before we led, and our pictures that we made into the slideshow, sharing how AWESOME our God is!

Next week’s Memory:

11/12-but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
