GROWING IN GRACE 

 OCTOBER 2020

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,  kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Galatians 5:22-23 

This month our fruit of the Spirit has been JOY

Our Bible stories  included  the story of 

The Visitors, Jairus's Daughter, and

  The Pumpkin Parable.

 You can check out the monthly calendar for the Bible stories I will be using for the upcoming month on the Joyful Noise web page. The children’s weekly chapel visits include; stories, songs, music and an occasional craft to help reinforce the story idea.

As part of the seasons changing and the onset of fall; some special activities and stories are planned for the month October & November

The following photo's are from all the different classes

who had Growing in Grace chapel time in the last couple  weeks.

The Nursery children liked the story of the Visitors about

Sarah and Abraham  having a baby. Sarah was "Joyful" 

and thankful for finally having a son.

In these photo's the Three's  class is listening to the story of Jarius's Daughter

Jaruis's daughter is made well. She sits up and opens her eyes!

 We played a Fruit of the Spirit matching game.

                                                      

                                                   Olive, Norah, and Brady find their matches!

                                                    Jacob and Abe find the matching fruits

                                       

Adien was sing along holding up the Octopus in the "Butterfly Song"

The Toddlers were good listeners for our Growing in Grace story; and

they liked the animals that went with the Butterfly song too.

This last week in October our Growing in Grace story was

The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis

This story illustrates how a farmer can turn a simple

pumpkin into a wonderful sight. In the same way 

God transforms us with great love and fills our hearts

 joy to share with others as we let our light shine.

The Two's class listening to the Pumpkin Parable story                   

                                                 Rowan,  Matai, made super pumpkin faces

The Pumpkin Prayer 🙏

Lord, open my mind and fill me with your wisdom and guidance.

Lord, take out all my fussies and frownies and fill me with your love.

Lord, open my eyes to see all the beautiful things you have made.

Lord, help me be a sweet fragrance for you.

Lord, help me to always speak your words of love and kindness.

Amen
