Bible Story: Gen. 18:9-16, 21:1-7

When one of the visitors finished eating, he said,"Where is your wife, Sarah?" "She's over there in the tent," Abraham said. "Next year Sarah will have a baby boy," the visitor said. Sarah heard and laughed. She couldn't believe it. I'm too old to have a baby, she thought. Abraham is too old too. In about a year Sarah had a baby boy, just like God had promised. Abraham named the baby Isaac. Isaac means "laughter." Sarah was so happy with her baby boy. She said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me."

Key points: God can do anything.
                    God answers all prayers with yes, no, or in his own time, we may need to wait.

Songs:

Father Abraham

Father Abraham had many sons
Had many sons had Father Abraham
I am one of them
And so are you
So let's just praise the Lord

[Yell "right arm" and move right arm, as if marching.]


Martin Luther (tune: Frere Jacques)

Marti Luther, Martin Luther
Saved by Grace, Saved by Grace,
All our sins for given, All our sins forgiven
God  loves us, God loves us    

Finger play:

First you take a pumpkin big and round and fat
Then you cut off the top to make a hat
You hollow out the eyes and the nose and the mouth
And show it to the children for a Halloween Surprise

Today we experienced the following activities: singing/dancing
                                                                            Bible story coloring sheet with markers

We enjoyed painting a rainbow.

Halloween candy corn in the making.

The classrooms were combined today. This is a pic of Jesus Time in Mrs. Derrington's class.

We danced with our friends in room B to several Jim Gill songs.

Recess was short ... just too cold.

Sharing a toy with friends.

This concludes our day.
Have a safe and fun Halloween, enjoy!
Blessing on your worship this weekend.

We learned a lot today.

Whether exploring the sensory table,

playing with toys,

using the magnetic board,

creating a spider web,

counting to 3,

drawing on the chalk board,

cutting a wind sock,

counting kernels of corn,

coloring the Bible story with markers,

tossing bean bags at the Jack-O-Lantern,

learning about stories from the Bible,

crawling through tunnels,

discovering how to dress for the weather,

playing outside,

creating shapes with play doh,

using words like big/little

watching the pumpkin get carved,

or using our senses to explore a pumpkin,

being brave enough to touch shaving cream

 or watching the growth of the bean and grass sprouts,

and learning about roots systems (help plants stand up and bring food and water to the sprouts),

We  surely did learn a lot today. 

PS


These are the books that the children heard today.

Our posters tell the story of Noah.

The hall display crafted with love and knowledge.

The silly Jack-O-Lanterns adorn the window in the Lobby.
