September 30. 2011

Oh the Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
Like the sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me!

As we learn about Jonathan Chapman (Johnny Appleseed) we praise our good God who gives us all we need! PRAISE THE LORD!

        the 10 commandments.

WE SING SUNDAY OCTOBER 2 at 11:00.  Please have your child in the upstairs music room by 10:45.  I know some of you (as well as myself) will be coming from Chapel of the Cross.  So just do your best to be there as close to 10:45 as you can!  Children may be picked up after church in the Welcome Center. I look forward to worshipping with you and I know the class is excited to help lead worship.

BALANCED LITERACY NIGHT:  Make plans to attend the Balanced Literacy Night, Tuesday October 18, 6:30 in the church basement.  This will be an important night to learn about our new curriculum and how it is graded for report cards.

GO CARDINALS!  To celebrate the Cardinals Tuesday, October 4, will be Cardinal Day.  Your child may wear jeans and a Cardinal or red shirt.

Giving Gardens:  This year our chapel offerings will support the Wheat Ridge ministry of Giving Gardens.  Our offerings will be used to buy seeds for families in Haiti.  The families will use the seeds to provide food and income.  Please pray for this ministry.
