11-1 All Saints Day
This week in addition to our Bible story "Samuel Hears a Voice," we are learning about Martin Luther and the Reformation. Next week, we will start our Thanksgiving Bible lessons. We will talk about blessings and what we are thankful for: homes (toys furniture cars etc.)/family, church, food. In addition to homes/Family, I will briefly talk about All Saints Day. Bible verses applicable to giving thanks will be shared and finger plays and songs will enhance our knowledge of giving thanks.

MUFFINS FOR MOMS  is tomorrow in the CHURCH Fellowship hall. There will be directional signs. It starts at 7am. to 7:45am. Children MUST be with an adult. ELP students should come to our room following the treat. We will NOT be going to the chapel service. At this age this event is optional. I will stop by briefly at 7am. for just a few mins. then I will return to Before Care inorder to let Ms. Derrington to make a brief appearance.
