We had another wonderful night at AWANA in the Heights! It is incredible to watch kids memorize God's Word. How cool is it that even 5th grade boys get into it! Woah... this week I want to especially thank all the men that help out on Wednesday nights. It may seem like a little thing but I am truly convinced that it has changed these boys' lives to have godly men coming week after week and simply caring for them! So, thank you men! Even though our 3rd and 4th grade boys class has been struggling those leaders are right there along side them encouraging and supporting them. I can not tell you how much I am blessed to have you all here! So, please, especially if you know those two men (((mark and jim))) encourage them and thank them for hanging in there!
On a positive note we had the BEST bus ride I have EVER seen. For those of you that have been on the bus, you know it can be a little crazy. Not just the Calvary bus for that matter, ANY bus. It is something about the atmosphere in there that lends itself to chaos! But I was able to lay down the law and they behaved AMAZING! God is so good.
A couple requests... If you do not volunteer at or even attend AWANA on Wednesday nights please consider doing so next semester! We have one more week next week then we will be taking a few weeks off for Christmas and New Years but I would love to have everyone experience the program at least once this year! Even if you just come for dinner and worship I believe you will be truly blessed by the presence of the Holy Spirit as the children of Calvary worship God. (I will also be needing a few replacement volunteers so please prayerfully consider if that might be you!)
Do not forget the upcoming children's Christmas Celebration which will be held Sunday December 18th at 4:30 pm in the Sanctuary. We are so excited to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
Finally, Sunday School lesson sign-ups are on the bulletin board outside the nursery. PLEASE take a look at those and grab your favorites before someone else does!
