Sunday School – Dec. 2nd

This Sunday’s classes will be held in the Treasure and the Heart Classrooms, in the Education Building. Sue and Pam will be the teachers. We will be creating baked goods for the Christmas Boutique and making this year’s pieces for the Creche that was begun last year. This year’s characters are the Donkey and a Shepherd with his Lamb.

NURSERY CARE*

Nursery care with Tina is available for infants and children (up to 4 years*) during the 10:30 AM morning service. The Nursery is located in the Education Building.

For campus locations, please see Directions and Campus Map.

READINGS

This week’s readings for the First Sunday of Advent: Psalm 25:1-9, The First Reading is Jeremiah 33:14-16,The Second Reading is 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 and the Gospel is Luke 21:25-36.

MEMORY VERSE

“I offer you my heart, Lord God and I trust you.” – Psalms 25:1-2 (CEV – Contemporary English Version).

NEW STUDENTS – FIRST VISIT

Hello Parents and Guardians – if this is your student’s first time with us, please arrive a few minutes early to register your child.

We follow safe church practices, so its important that we know who’s in attendance, have parents(s) or guardian(s) check children in-and-out, and provide us us with any important details including contact info in the event of an emergency. Teachers are happy to help 🙂

Education building doors are locked 10 minutes after church service begins for added security…so give yourself a little extra time this first day. Teachers will be available to offer assistance to parents and children with registration, questions or any special needs – just introduce yourself and they’ll take it from there. Thanks so much and we look forward to meeting you!

PAGEANT REHEARSAL REMINDER

Rehearsal will be held directly after the Worship service ends. Please remain in the Church so we can begin as soon as possible and then join in the Boutique.

This rehearsal is for all characters who have lines. Costumes will also be fit if you did not try one on last week.

GOOD NEWS

The Sunday School Annual Thanksgiving Food Ingathering collected 157 pounds of Food that were delivered to Second Harvest Food Bank the following Monday. Thank you to all who donated.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

The children created ornaments that will be sold at the Christmas Boutique to raise funds for Saint Thomas. Join us at the Christmas Boutique on December 2nd and December 9th in Cowans Hall.
