Christmas in Brazil
Read more!
We are to be seed planters.
This month we are looking at Christmas around the world as we focus on what we can do to be a part of God’s commission. This week we focused on Brazil and how each one of us should be spreading seeds of God’s truth to all those we know. We took a look at the parable of the seed and the sower in Luke 8:5-15.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%208:5-15&version=NIV
Our Memory Verse was: Luke 10:2-3a “He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you.”
The Point: Lets plant some seeds
1) It is God’s desire that every person in the world may know Him.
Timmothy 2:3-4 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
2) As followers of Jesus we are to be His workers in the fields of this world.
Luke 10:2 “He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
3) A worker will harvest no fruit without planting seed. We must plant seeds of truth in the hearts of people we know.
Luke 10:3 “"On your way! But be careful—this is hazardous work. You're like lambs in a wolf pack."
Action steps:
1) Your child made an ornament in class today. Ask them what they remember about Christmas in Brazil. Then have them pray for those in Brazil as they put the ornament on the tree.
2) Here are some great online games: http://gardenofpraise.com/bibl25s.htm
A great devotion for each day this week:http://www.cbhministries.org/kfk/home.php

We are thankful that God takes care of our needs
Read more!
Lesson
This month we are looking at the many things we should thank God for and this week we are thanking God for wanting to take care of our needs. Our Bible story was about how God took care of Elijah when he was in need. 1 Kings 17:1-6
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20kings%2017:1-6&version=NIV
Our Memory Verse was: Proverbs 18:24 “There is a friend who sticks closer than a
brother.”
The Point: God wants to take care of all your needs
1) God has all the good gifts. Philippians 4:19 "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
2) God wants to give you the good gifts you need. James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.”
3) Remember the first two points and don’t worry. Matthew 6:25-34 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Action steps:
1) I would encourage you to have your child make a list that they are thankful for and post it on the refrigerator on the days leading up to Christmas. Being thankful is a year around attitude and will help put Christmas in perspective.
2) Here are some great online games: http://gardenofpraise.com/bibl17s.htm

Connecting with Kids

Today was Pastor Appreciation Day at Sully Christian School.
Cheyenne & Christine Nikkel attend SCS and invited us to come and be a part of their morning, along with the other pastors and their wives from the community who have children from their church that go to SCS. We were even able to have lunch with Cheyenne and Christine. What a fun time it was eating with them and getting to know their friends. Thank you girls for inviting us!! We are truly blessed to be a part of Berean and the Children's Ministry there.

We are thankful that God is your Friend
Read more!
Lesson: 11.22.09
This month we are looking at the many things we should thank God for and this week we are thanking God for wanting to be our best friend. Our Bible story was about the love God had for the Israelites and how He was always there no matter where they were or what they were doing.
Our Memory Verse was: Proverbs 18:24 “There is a friend who sticks closer than a
brother.”
The Point: God wants to be your friend
1) God want to be closer than a brother
Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
2) God is that friend that will always be there for you and will never leave you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
3) God desire you to also be a faithful friend that is committed to Him.
James 4:4-6 “You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover." And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."
Action steps:
1) Again, I would encourage you share with your child personal experiences when God was with you even during hard times. These stories can really help children apply the principle of trusting in God.
2) Talk to your child about areas in their life that they need to give up to God that they may be a better friend to Him.
3) Here are some great online games: http://gardenofpraise.com/bibl10s.htm

NAME: Ruth Arndt
MINISTRY POSITION: Assist in Foundations for Faith
FAMILY: Husband Marty, Daughters Heather & Brittany, Son Zach
FAVORITE FOOD: Pizza, Chocolate and Diet Coke!
FAVORTIE VERSE IN THE BIBLE: Proverbs 3:5-8 I lean on, trust in, and am confident in the Lord with all my heart and mind and I do not rely on my own insight or understanding. In all my ways I know, recognize and acknowledge Him, and he directs and makes straight and plain my paths. I am not wise in my own eyes; I reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn (entirely) away from evil.
FAVORTIE BOOK: Ruth (of course). This is a story of an outsider. Ruth was not born of the faith and felt no natural part of it-like many of us. But the story turns out to be essential for telling the complete story of God's ways among us. The widow, Ruth was the great grandmother of David and ancestor of Jesus. The book of Ruth makes it possible for each of us to understand ourselves, however ordinary or out of the ordinary, as irreplaceable in the full telling of God's story. We count-every last one of us-and what we do counts!
WHAT TALENT DO YOU HAVE: If you ask Zach, he might say, I have a talent for knowing when his room is messy. I would say I have a talent of bringing people together. I love to entertain and have fellowship gatherings.
ONE THING THE LORD HAS DONE FOR YOU: In the last few months, He has shown me many things. One is how to really rely on Him and trust in Him. Recently my mother had to have surgery (at age 79). At the same time my sister was diagnosed with cancer and started treatments. In trusting and fully believing in Him, has given me opportunities not only to minister to my family but has also stretched my faith. No matter the circumstance praise Him. His presence is with you.

We are thankful that God is our Guide
Read more!
This month we are looking at the many things we should thank God for and this week we are thanking God for being our Guide. Our Bible story was about how “God lead the Israelites to the “Promise Land” Numbers 13-14; Deut. 1; Joshua 3-4
Our Memory Verse was: Colossians 3:15 “For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”
The Point: “God will Guide if we will Follow”
1) God wants you to have a great life
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
2) God wants to help you have that great life
Psalm 32:2 “He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams.”
3) God can only guide you to a great life if you will follow Him not with the crowd.
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”
Timothy 5:22 "Neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure."
Action steps:
1) I would encourage you to share with your child personal experiences that God has lead you through some hard times. These stories can really help children apply the principle of trusting in God.
2) Talk to your child about areas in their life that they need to trust God to help them through.
