Awana, The Nursery, Kingdom Quest and more

Tonight's Awana theme is Orange! It could mean orange socks, orange hair, orange shirt, orange hat, anything worn orange!

Next week's theme - Canned Food Night - a buck a can or box of food.

A note will be set home tonight about the Thanksgiving feast items needed. This can be used for the canned food night.

Some happenings in Childen's Ministry at St. Paul's.
We are forming a team together to ensure the strength of the ministry and what God has called us to do get's accomplished. Every area of this ministry will be looked at. Awana is a very strong ministry with committed leadership. Kingdom Quest Sunday School has a pretty good teacher base and is growing. We have many other areas to look at.

Did you know... The Children's Room a.k.a. The Nursery in any church as an important mission? This is taken from an article from Children's Ministry online.
Where is God on Sunday mornings? Of course, God is everywhere. We know that God is enthroned in the praises of his people, in their prayers, when the word is preached, loved and obeyed. He is everywhere! But did you know God is back in the church nursery? Our church nursery has a loving staff who care for your children and want to help you to enjoy service or Wed. nights.
The Bible studies are starting tonight and we have wonderful staff who will care for your child at no cost. They do have a piggy bank that they put out for donations. Your donations help offset the cost of snacks, craft items, and more.

Kingdom Quest Sunday school is from 9:25 - 10:45 here. We are currently studying Isaiah the Prophet and how he foretold about Jesus. Each week the children attend a different room. It could be the movie theater, story, kitchen, games, or art. This rotation ends on Nov. 16th.
Our next rotation will be Mary Did you know? Nov. 23rd - Dec. 21st.
Dec. 21st, our Sunday school 6th graders will graduate from elementary Sunday school to Middle School Sunday school.

However, our AWANA 6th graders will remain in Awana until the end of the year.
If your child is in 6th grade and will not be attending confirmation classes at St. Paul's or elsewhere, we invite them to stay with us for the next couple of years until there is a middle school group they fit into. They can continue their book, we can pray in a teen leader who will lead them into the Journey with "Trek" an Awana series or they can become Leaders' in training. My hope is to not lose any child.

Our Christmas play has been practicing hard, they work two days a week to learn their lines and learn more. We could still use some stage hands!
