Announcements:  

• No Music this Sunday!

• New unit for November-Jesus can do anything.  Stories this month are: changing water into wine, catching fish, feeding 5,000, walking on water, calming the storm (again.)  Should be a great month of well known Bible stories for our children to learn and the truth that Jesus really can do amazing things in our lives today!

• I will have Kool-Aid mix for the snack this week, so the kids can enjoy a "super fancy drink."

Curriculum:  Week 1 of 4: Jesus can do things no on else can. Changing water into "super fancy drink." (wine)

"With God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26.


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

Bible Story: (found under Make it True )Jesus changes water into super fancy drink. The story is lots of fun this week.  Follow the instructions in the curriculum and bring some glasses, vases, mason jars etc.  Whatever you have from home.  You might even throw in some party decorations if you have any around the house...i.e. hats, etc.

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

Thoughts on a few of the activities for this week:

• Hot jars game-easy.  Like "hot potato"
• "Water to Super Fancy Drink" craft-love this craft.  I can make copies for you Sunday morning and give you the strips.  Easy to do and kids can show water changing into the fancy drink.

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

Bible Story: (found under Make it True )Jesus calms the storm. The story is interactive and asks you to bring in a float.  (haha).  I think a sheet would work well to signify a boat and the kids can all sit on it.  Also calls for a rain coat or rain gear-anything on those lines would be fun.

Games/Activities: (fun games this week!)  

• Making Waves or Ride the wave-I have one blue sheet and 4 puff balls available.  Tammy or Janet can get them for you.  Could bring in your own sheet and/or balls if you want as well.  This is an easy/fun game.
• Sounds like Rain-definitely and interactive, "no prop" game that all kids have fun with.
• Tube boats-I will have toilet paper rolls cut in half and craft sticks available, along with card stock.  You would need to cut the sails but all the rest of the stuff will be ready for you.  
• I have dark and light blue streamers available as well along with craft sticks if you want to make some waves to "wave"--just like the fire this past week!

Games/Activities: (fun games this week!)  

• Freeze- this is a fun, easy one that doesn't require any props. 
• Hoops of Fire-You could modify this to do whatever you want with hula hoops.  You could make an obstacle course, etc.
• Balls of Fire- I don't think this craft is very easy.  I would modify by taping red, yellow, and orange crepe paper streamers into a toilet paper roll.  
• Fiery Furnace- This is a cute craft, but require some cutting beforehand.  Let me know as soon as you can about this one!  Thanks.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True)The story is interactive this week, but you may want to modify.  I love the counting part of the story....I think the kids will have fun.  Maybe just have one child hide as the #3 sheep.  Might be easier and less confusing.
