Story

Sunday, October 7th

Thank you again to such wonderful volunteers!!!!! I must say, every single one of them went above and beyond this week. From Ron and Emily single-handedly handling the 3's ... to Joanne baking snacks to go with the lesson ... to Kimberly Thigpen's wonderful Bible Story ... to my incredible coordinator and teacher, Allison helping me with everyone. Adam and Allison Jones began helping in Praise Patch and did a GREAT job along with our old faithfuls. Lynne held down a 5 year old room alone while the Fielder and Pat Bolton room entered with extra activities for their crew. It is just amazing watching these teachers grow with their classes and take such ownership in them!! THANK YOU!

The children were introduced to the new October Theme, Idea and Bible Verse. They were learning about how every house should be serving the Lord and it is their choice to make!

Thanks again to everyone ... and I have bins of glue sticks that will be in each room just for your classes!!!! No more mad dashes looking for glue!

Do you know how the disciples were sent out by Jesus? Our Preschool does! Two by two! We learned about the disciples work with and for Jesus as well as a review of our September lessons. It was a GREAT Sunday. Lauren and Joanne put on quite a Bible Story for us! 3 year old, Lillian was even an active role in the lesson. Thank you to all of my wonderful volunteers. The children are so lucky to have each and every one of you. October will bring on a new theme and Bible verse! Help encourage our preschoolers to press on with the motivation they showed last month.

The children were learning about following in Jesus' footprints this week! They used footprint activities, maze activities and stories of Matthew to learn about following Jesus. Our wonderful volunteers could be seen in the pods doing various activities to help show the children ways to follow Jesus. We are SO lucky to have volunteers with ministry hearts! Each child traced their foot and wrote "I have decided to follow Jesus" on the print with their name on the heel. We cut these out - with the help of Sally Beth Maxwell, thank you thank you - and will be putting them on the bulletin board that says "We have decided to follow Jesus". They will start at the children in the bottom corner and lead up to Jesus in the top corner! It was a great lesson with so many fun activities. Our activities are created to allow something that makes them work together, something that makes them listen and follow along and something that allows creativity. They are just growing in such leaps and bounds and our Church has allowed them a curriculum to just increase their knowledge of Christ in a powerful way. Thank you to all involved in our Preschool Ministry!
