Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: November 13, 2020

This week we learned about Hannah and how she prayed for a baby. God heard her prayer and Samuel was born. Samuel worked for the church and listened to God. God had very important work for Samuel.

God used Samuel to find the new King. God looked in the heart and choose a shepherd boy, David to be the new King.

Our class made prayer journals in the form of a PATH Prayer. I hope you encourage your child to use the journal to help organize his/her prayer time.

Books are a great Christmas Gift.

Please go online to order books. There are flyers in the Friday Folder and many more books online!

If these are a gift, just send me an email and I will let you know when the books arrive. Please order by Friday November 20.

Our class has enough offering to purchase 1 1/2 turkeys!

For your chapel offering please bring stuffing and potatoes for Seminarian’s Thanksgiving Baskets. Chapel offering money will be used to purchase turkeys. Seminarians are from all over the United States and some do not get to go home for Thanksgiving. We can help them have a great holiday dinner by donating from the many blessings God has given us!
