What's coming up...

Next week we'll be learning about John the Baptist and how he prepared the way for Jesus.  We'll also be talking about being thankful!

On October 11 we'll be making our way out the Veurink farm for our fall farm visit.  We'll meet at the farm at 10 am (let us know if you need directions).  Please bring along a nut-free snack to share and dress for the weather.  We'll be spending the morning outside so dressing in layers (with hats and mittens just in case) is always a good idea! 

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Today our Little Seedlings learned about the wise men who came to worship Jesus and how God saved His Son from Herod. We put up a Christmas tree, hung stars, and celebrated by dressing up like angels and shepherds, making crowns and stars, decorating yummy sugar cookies and singing "Away in a Manger".

Christmas in September!

Tomorrow the Little Seedlings will continue to learn about the birth of Jesus and how people came to worship the newborn King!  We'll be decorating yummy sugar cookies and stars for the Christmas tree.  We'll have costumes for the kids to dress up like shepherds, angels and wisemen to celebrate and worship Jesus.

Joann and Mary Jane are on duty.  Crystal is bringing along cookies to decorate and Margaret is bringing and preparing snack.  Please bring something nut-free for the kids to use to decorate their cookies (e.g., sprinkles, smarties, etc.)  and a child's robe (if you have one).

Open House

We had a great time at our Open House, meeting new Little Seedlings and playing with our returning friends!  The kids played and did apple stamping while parents and grandparents completed forms and got to know one another.  Looking forward to a great year!!

This year we'll be moving from the Old Testament to the New Testament. This week we'll be starting our curriculum, The Life of Christ (Generations of Grace, http://www.generationsofgrace.com/).  The lesson will be "Jesus Christ is Born" and our Little Seedlings will learn that God kept his promise to send a Savior and that Jesus came to earth to save His people.

On September 27, we'll be doing the lesson, "Jesus is Worshipped" and having a Christmas celebration.  We'll have sugar cookies to decorate and we'll dress up like shepherds, angels and wisemen to worship Jesus!  Please bring along robes to dress up like shepherds.
