Happy New Year!
We have recently celebrated the beginning of
2009!
I wonder what will happen in this year.
Maybe we will do more with our rockets?
Perhaps we will have more Fellowship Meals?
Or Christmas Teas...
We can hang out with our friends...
Watch Pastor Mike ride...
Take trips to pretty places...
Share time together in Worship
Enjoy a Fall Fest? ...or Picnics?
These are just some of the things
we enjoyed together in 2008!
I can't wait to see what 2009 will bring!!
Some ideas...
Sponsor a Compassion Child together...
More times of Worship!
Family Game Nights
Family Bible Study
Mystery Menu DInner
Bowling
Work on our Music together
Young People, You are very important to the work of the
church!
Your attitude is noticed, your friendliness helps the church
to grow...
We appreciate your help in keeping the Church Building clean
and neat.
Lets have a great year together!!!!
Hey People!
Why did you not yell at us for not putting
anything here about Christmas???
Don't you know, It's the Most Wonderful Time of
the Year?
Oh.My.Goodness.This.is.the.week.of.Christmas!
We will enjoy our Christmas Eve Service on
Wednesday Evening.
I cannot wait!
I love that moment in the evening when all of
us make a circle around the church and each have our very own candle that
represents the light of Jesus in this world.
We share the light that comes from the Christ
Candle in the middle of the Advent Candle.
Then we sing Silent Night, Holy Night in the
candlelight!
Way too sweet, I tell you!
Did you know that when you are a light for
Jesus, it is because He put the light in you in the first place? Well,
that is why we begin lighting our candles from that center candle. It
represents Jesus to us during this service.
Can't wait to see you there.
Careful with that candle, o.k?
...And Merry Christmas
to YOU!
Hey Guys, Fall is
here!
Have you seen the
trees changing color?
It is so much fun to
go outside and listen...
just listen for the
leaves to fall.
I took some pictures
of things that we often see in the fall...
A campfire
Milkweed pods
Pumpkin and Straw
Red Leaves
Fungi on a log
Red Berries on
display
Apples ripening on
the tree...
Fall is about
change...sometimes people want to make it about scary things...I don't get that.
Change can be very
good!
Imagine if you never,
ever changed your clothes...
that would be bad.
Imagine if you had
never changed from a baby to the young person that you are today.
What else needs to
change?
Our hearts!
We are born with
dirty hearts.
They don't love God.
But, He loves us and
wants to come in and change that heart into one that loves Him.
This is something I
read that I thought was cool.
I hope you do too.
A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What
is it like to be a Christian?' The
coworker replied, 'It is like being a
pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch,
brings you in, and washes all the dirt
off of you. Then He cuts off the top and
scoops out all the yucky stuff. He
removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and
greed. Then He carves you a new smiling
face and puts His light inside of you to
shine for all the world to see.'

I hope you have a clean heart this fall.
If you want to know how to do this,
tell your parents.
They will help you.
Coming this week, in Sunday
School Pastor Mike will continue to teach us about a subject called
Apologetics.
Sometimes when we hear this word it reminds us
of another word...apologize.
...Saying you are sorry...
Thankfully that is not what this is.
We are not asking someone to forgive us for
being a Christian.
Apologetics is being able to
tell another person
what you believe and
why you believe it.
(Remember that! Pastor Mike might ask us
on Sunday what Apologetics means.)
This past week Pastor Mike showed us a picture of a frozen
lake.
Who was at the side of the lake?
Why did Pastor Mike talk about this?
Tell your parents what you remember from this lesson.
Here is a memory verse that
you can work on this week. If you can tell it to Grandma Ruth on
Sunday she will have a Smartie Pack for you ...'cause you are soooo smart!
Psalm 119:66
Teach me knowledge
and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.
Some pictures ~ just for fun:
 Chelsea
thinks she is a turtle.
Beware of Mikey. He is coming through a big log.
 Who
do you think you are fooling, Mikey?
God Created the fish on the ??? Day?
You'll find the Answer in the First Chapter of Genesis.
 
See you on Sunday!
Have a Great Week!
