Don't forget to check out the resource table - there are a ton of books and cd's that are great to have for your children.
December 9th the children will be singing in front of the congregation during the closing songs. They have been working for months on the Bible Book Bop by Go Fish. Thank you so much Randy and Rob for working on this song with the kids. I know this is a popular song in our household. You can pick up the cd for $10 at the resource table. Bible Book Bop is part of the Snazzy CD by Go Fish. This is a fun song, but ultimately our aim in working on this song with the children is to help them with learning the Books of the Bible in order. Realistically at this point they are unable to sing the whole song but repeated exposure is beneficial. We have also been working on finding the books of the Bible during Sunday Communities. Posters have been made that list the books in order and teachers use this to share with children when they are looking up passages related to the lessons. I encourage you to have your children look up passages at home especially during this month when we celebrate Advent. Each week there is a Bible passage on the candle ornament you will be bringing home from church. You can make a game out of it with your kids to see who can find the verse first, if they know the books of the Bible before or after the one listed, New or Old Testament, etc.

"Hand Motions (reprinted by permission)
Although most of the meanings behind the hand motions are above a preschooler's understanding, using hand motions is one more way to learn the books of the Bible. The hand motions are created using the major themes of each book."
Don't forget the pancake dinner and movie night this Friday. It's not too late to sign up and join us.
