Howdy y'all.

Dust off your boots and hats, and show us your best western wear.

The theme of October's K - 2nd Bible stories are Love and Obey God. 

October 1: Rahab Helped the Israelites - Joshua 2:6

October 8: Deborah Followed God's Plan - Judges 4:1-16, 23-24

October 15: Esther Helped Her People - Esther 2:2-18, 3:8-13, 4-5, 7-8

In addition to our monthly memory verse, which is our unit verse, we are going to add weekly memory verses.  Kindergarten through 2nd grade students are more than capable of memorizing a verse a week.  For those students who struggle, concentrate on just the unit verse. 

Unit Verse:

Deuteronomy 30:20 - Love God and always do what He says.  (This will also be the Oct. 8th memory verse.)

Weekly Memory Verses

October 1: Deuteronomy 6:18 - Do what is right and good. 

October 8: Deuteronomy 30:20 - Love God and always do what He says 

October 15: Hebrews 13:6 - God helps me.  I will not be afraid.

October 22: 1 John 5:3 - We show love to God by obeying Him. 

The theme of October's 3rd - 6th Bible stories are Trust and Obey God.

In addition to weekly verses, each unit we cover has it's own unit verse.

October 15: Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know Him and He will make your paths straight.

October 22: Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.

Since there are five Sundays in the month of October, the last Sunday of the month will be a Family Sunday.  This means that all students, in grades K - 12, will remain in the Sanctuary for the service.  Pastor Matthew will conclude his teaching of the story of the prodigal son, by looking at the father's love for both his sons. 

After service, join us for a fun craft in the courtyard. 

Join us for our annual Harvest Fest event.  We'll have super fun carnival game booths, decorated trunks, food and fun inflatables, and of course lots of candy!
