Small group Leader Blog

November 24th

Monthly theme: God is always with me.

Announcements: 

• On Sunday Dec. 8^th you will not need to lead normal programming in your room.   We will be having a Celebrate Jesus event for 2 year olds- kindergarten.  Children are invited from 10-11am to come with at least ONE parent.  This will be held in the fellowship hall and you will be receiving an invitation soon.  So, those of you with children in this age group can come to the fellowship hall and join in.  I will have all rooms closed with signs directing families to fellowship hall.   I would like to keep one room open  in case we have any children dropped off without a parent.  If two teachers are willing to stay with Tammy in that room for 10-15 min, then if we have any children dropped off without a parent  we can bring them to the fellowship hall  as well.   Let me know if you are scheduled that Sunday and would be willing to stay in the room for 10 minutes

• Spring 2014 Plans-I have heard from most of you and just have a few left to chat with.  Come find me so we can talk about your next step plans.

• I would love to hear your feedback about the "3 man" team approach to leading our small groups.  How has it worked for you?  Do you think it has been effective?

Curriculum: Lesson 4 of 4: Daniel and the Lions Den.  God helps me when I have to do hard things.   God saves the day.

November Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions.    Click here for the November motions  "The Lord your God is with you everywhere you go." Joshua 1:9

Prayer Time: #1 in our top 10:   Ask the kids what you can pray about and lead them in prayer.

Bible Story:  (found under Make it True) This week's story is  Daniel and the Lions Den.  Always a favorite.  I have a longer children's Bible story book that contains this story: few and simple words on each page.  You can use it if you like.


Activities: Thoughts about activities and supplies needed for this week:

• Who am I-good game to introduce the animals in our story this week.
• Hard to Do/Obstacle course-could combine these and talk about how its hard to do parts of an obstacle course and we have to do hard things in our lives.  There is always butcher block paper in the resource room closet.  
• Scary Lion-this is a craft and I can copy for you.  We do have brown paint and smocks the kids can throw on.  You could also use "gift bag filler" or anything else you think of for the mane and the kids could glue it on.
