November and December 2007 flew by as we learned that God Always Wins through the story of God freeing the Israelites and that there is Only One God through the story of Naaman's healing from leprosy. As we prepared to teach the children about Jesus' birth and celebrate His birthday, two of our little seedlings became big brothers (congratulations Asher & Jude!) and Abby became a big sister to a second little brother. Jordan Nathaniel Gomes and Myah Grace Newman joined their families a day apart. They will themselves be Little Seedlings in September 2009!
In November, we used Nursery Rhymes (Humpty Dumpty and Jack be Nimble) to teach the children Biblical truths that God is there to help us and that He wants us to let our "lights" shine for Him. Our December playroom theme was "Christmas and Giving" as we prepared to celebrate our Saviour's birth. The kids had Jesus' birthday party on December 13 and made Christmas cookies as a special treat (check out the pictures below!)
Following the Christmas story, the children learned about how the wisemen came to worship Jesus (Matthew 2: 1-12) and how we can show we love Jesus too!
"Where'd my hat go?!"
