SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS
November 24th: K-2 will be talking about how "God's Love is Forever." While 3-6 grades will look at the church calendar and discuss the concept of Advent. All grade levels will do a Thanksgiving craft to bring home.
December 1st: Due to the fact that the church will be hosting Family Promise, we will have Sunday School as a large group in the gym. We will build our own advent wreaths complete with battery operated candles and discuss the meaning of each candle.
December 8th: Again, we will gather in the gym as a large group and have a birthday party for Jesus. The children we are hosting at Family Promise are welcome to attend. We will sing carols, make Christmas ornaments, and eat mini cupcakes!
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
During Sunday School each week, we will continue to learn songs for the Children's Christmas program. The music and lyrics are now up on the church website if you would like to take a look using the link below. After Thanksgiving, I will be sending out a sign up for those that would like to participate.
Christmas Program Lyrics and Music
CHILDREN'S CHOIR
The children are invited to lead the congregation in song at the 7:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service. They will be singing "O, Come, Little Children." Sabrina Cole will conduct the choir. She will begin practice this Sunday in the choir loft from 10:10 - 10:25. She will gather any interested children in the Fellowship Hall at coffee hour each Sunday and take them for practice. Then, they will join Sunday school.
