October Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions 
"Nothing can separate us from God's love."  Romans 8:39  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 Bible story for this week is very interactive.  You can substitute a blow up boat with a boat cut from a piece of butcher block or you could turn chairs upside down and make a boat-be creative.  The kids will enjoy the sounds, etc.

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

• Making waves and ride the waves- Both of these games use a sheet and a ball.  Don't worry if you don't have a blue sheet.  Shaking the sheet looks like waves and the kids will get the idea. 
• Sounds like rain- No props needed and I think they will like this game.  Its always fun to make rain sounds. 
• Red + Yellow-  I love this activity as it visually shows the kids how God's love will never be separated from us.  You could do this on small plates and they could paint a heart maybe-representing love.  Just an idea.
• Stormy waters-this is an easy fun craft.  WE have blue crepe paper for streamers.
•  Tube boats would also be an easy craft. We have plenty of toilet paper rolls and craft sticks.
