In November we are thankful for our
Sunday School Families and Children!
‘Getting to Know You’ Campaign
Sunday School is asking for a picture with some accompanying information of SS students to share with others for our bulletin boards in our hallways outside of the SS classrooms. Celebrations/school pictures/sports activities/pets/family pictures are all great ideas. Please turn these in by Thanksgiving to your SS teacher and let’s enjoy learning about each other and our church family.
During
Midweek meal on November 19th
along with the traditional Thanksgiving food we
will be preparing for Advent! Using candles, greenery, pinecones, and
straw wreaths we will be making Advent Wreaths for use at home as we
anticipate the birth of Christ in December. This is a great way to
focus on the true meaning of the holiday season even as we become
involved in all of the other preparations for Christmas. If you have not
come to a Midweek Meal on Wednesday evenings in awhile this is a great
evening to participate. There is a sign-up sheet in the lobby outside
the sanctuary. Please share in this and all Advent activities coming in
December.

Sunday School students studied the life of Samuel today. They learned how God calls His people to repentance through preachers such as Samuel; that He might forgive us for the sake of Christ. Parents might ask, “How did God use Samuel to speak to His people? How does God use our pastor to speak His Word today?”

“Saul Becomes King” was the Sunday School lesson for today. Students learned that though God lets us have our own way at times, His is the way of forgiving and saving, which He did for His people of old and for us today. Consider asking, “How did God care for the children of Israel even though their desires were sinful? How does God show His care for us even though we are sinful?”

Today’s Sunday School lesson involved the well-known story of David and Goliath. As David slew the giant Goliath, so Jesus, our David, slew the jeering giants of sin, Satan, and death with the weapon of His own death. Discuss, “How could David approach his battle with Goliath confidently? How can we face the ‘Goliaths’ in our life with confidence?”
