Sunday School Scoop   
 Greetings!           
   The second and third graders are wandering with Moses and the Israelites through the desert this week. They will learn that God provided for the needs of his people in the wilderness. Every morning they found sweet manna in the grass and in the evening there were quails. For forty years, God fed them but they weren't always thankful and didn't always trust God for the next day's food.  They longed for the food they had in Egypt and disobeyed God by hoarding. May we be a people who praise God for his faithfulness!    Ministering with you, Sheryle Silvern
