Bible Theme:  God Speaks to Elijah in a Whisper.
Bible Point:  God is always with us.
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18
Weaving Faith Into Life:  Children will trust that God is always with them, taking care of them.

Are you being a FaithWeaver this week?  Try this fun faith-growing activity with your child:  As a family, for each letter of the alphabet, come up with a reason God deserves our worship.  Write or draw your answers on a poster, and then hang the poster in a prominent place in your home to remind you that God deserves our worship.

Our Mission Kids, fourth and fifth grade students, will meet at Evergreen Village tomorrow night, November 10 from 6:30-7:30 pm.  Please drop off and pick up your child at Evergreen, located across the street from Calvary UMC.  The students will be sharing God's love with Our World!

  

Remember to fill your Operation Christmas Child boxes this week, as the deadline is Sunday, November 14. Boxes are available in the Atrium for pickup.  Suggestions for gift ideas include school supplies, small toys, hygiene items, personal notes pictures and other items such as hard candies, t-shirts, socks, hair clips, sunglasses, etc. Funds are provided to help with the shipping cost.  This is a wonderful opportunity to share Christ's love with our brothers and sisters around the world.  

 

 Students in grades 4-8 will be presented with a unique opportunity to sing the Star Spangled Banner at a ISU basketball game on Sunday, January 23.  Watch for more information to come home soon!  If you have any questions, please contact Pat Messinger, patmessinger@comcast.net.
