August Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions 
"God's way is perfect." Psalm 18:30 click here for scripture motions.

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 )This week's story is about Naaman.  Should he "do this or that?"  Naaman had spots all over his body and his servant girl suggested that God could heal him and Naaman just needed to go see Elisha.  When Namman did Elisha said that he should dip 7 times in the river and he would be healed.  Naaman didn't want to.  He said "no way."  Finally he agreed.  When he did what God said-dip in the river-he was healed.  I will have a children's Bible or a Big story book available if you would rather use that .  You can use props-band-aids for sores, etc.  

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)
  
GAMES:

• 7 Times-no props needed
•  Cans and Clothespins-we have all the items for this.
• Jump in/Jump out-fun, easy game that reinforces the seven times.

 TABLE ACTIVITIES:

•  Right or wrong-love this kind of activity because it makes it real for the kids.  Should I do this?  or that?  
• Coloring sheets-I will put in your room usually every week. 

I think the cup/craft activity looks hard to do, but you can modify and not paint the cup, etc.  See what you think.
