11-2

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.
