Last night the kids learned about Jonah and the whale. Let me tell you this story led into so many other stories because they were getting Jonah confused with Adam and other men from the bible. It was another successful night! The kids made a whale out of brown paper bags and we made Jonah out of pipe cleaner. We stuffed the whale with newspaper and Jonah went inside as well. Here are some pictures of our awesome night!  Read More....

The youth leader and I threw a Back to School camp at our church last week. One of the perks was the following Sunday we were going to give out fully equipped backpacks full of supplies. I wanted to add something fun and useful they could use at school. I got to thinking of what I could have used when I was a kid or would have come in handy while walking home from school. **DING** I thought a handy dandy First Aid Kit would be a great item to add to.  Many thoughts came across my mind when tRead More....

My kids in the class and our surrounding community are going to back to school soon and I wanted to make sure they were set with a fully loaded back pack full of school supplies .
