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 )The story is easy to tell this week and I will have blue paper for you to use in telling it.  If you want to bring a flashlight from home (or even use your cell phone flashlight) that would be good.  Easy story this week!

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

Thoughts on a few of the activities for this week: Lots of good activities to choose from this week.

• Ball of Love-easy game...I have soft balls you can use.
• He is my Son- a hiding game.  These are always my favorite and this one uses pictures from the activity pages. 
• Up and Down-no props.  Maybe good to do after the story.
• Jesus' Baptism- uses paper plates and brads, which we have. 
• Tracing Jesus' Baptism-this is a fun group activity you can do that won't take long and those who like to color can finish coloring the picture.
