September Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions 
"My God will meet all your needs" Phillipains 4:19. 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 )The story today is about God calling Abraham to pick up and go to a new land.  It is a simple story, but shows the power of trusting God to lead us in our lives.  God has the best plan.  You could bring some traveling props (ie. bag, pillow, things little kids like) and/or you could move around the room while telling the story.  You could even travel around the hallway to different rooms or to the childcare room and back.  Have fun and talk about how God has a special plan for each of them as they grow up.  When we seek God we can know he will be our Guide!

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun) Lots of fun ideas for this week:

• The Plan-Make up your own "mini-obstacle" course instead of following the lessons  method.  You could go under tables around chairs, etc.  There are blocks in room 107 that you all could use. 
• Zig Zag -You could skip the butcher block paper and just put blue tape directly on the floor.  (Tammy will have access to blue tape.)
• My needs-I love this activity and Tammy will have some soft balls you can use.  Putting the child's name into the scripture is powerful for them to hear.
• Putting Pieces together-Could use this activity to tell the story or retell or see if kids can put them in the right order after learning about story.  Could do this on the table during snack time.
• The Way Home-This is a table maze activity.  Easy and fun for kids.
