                           Jesus will wipe every tear from your eyes.  Revelation 21:4
                             The LORD is near to all who call on Him.  Psalm 145:18

This week we learned about how Hannah prayed for Samuel.  We also talked about how because of sin we often experience sadness, disappointment, and troubles.  What a comfort to know that God that is with us, He hears our prayers, and He will comfort us with His gentle hands.

Take a minute and watch us perform the poem :  The Old Gray Cat

ZOO VISITS this Tuesday.  We look forward to the zoo and animals visiting us on Tuesday.  This replaces the art museum field trip.

CUP STACKING WORLD RECORD:  On Thursday we will be participating in breaking the world record people stacking cups on one day.  We will be stacking cups at 1:20!

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE:  On Wednesday we ask that the students bring in canned or boxed goods to provide Thanksgiving dinners to 30 seminarians.  Our offerings will go to buy the turkeys.  What a great way to help support those who spread the Good News.

THANK YOU TO THE MOMS and GRANMDA who help us paint like Eric Carle!  Check out the pictures.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS:  Our Advent service is December 14 at 7:00 in the church.  The first and second graders will be working very hard on our songs and parts.  The children lead the whole service.  It is important that you help your child learn their speaking part.  It is important that each child is planning to attend.  There are a few props that need to be made, if you are willing to help gather/make them please let me know and we can meet.  Thank you

I am so grateful for a class where the parents see worship in church as a priority.  Thank you for living your faith and showing your child the importance of worshipping on the weekend.  May God enrich you this weekend!

In HIM,
Amy
