Halloween Week!

There is no FamilyQuest this coming Wednesday night, but please come to Trunk or Treat from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Families, you can certainly use Halloween as an opportunity to continue teaching your children Biblical principals at home.  Check out some of the great ideas (including a gospel pumpkin carving idea) at this site http://www.abcjesuslovesme.com/holiday-ideas/329-halloween.

Have fun!

Test of Faith: Jonah - Week 4

Print out and cut out the Jonah figures provided here.  Use these figures to retell the story of Jonah.  Use this as an opportunity to reteach many of the important lessons from scripture:  God cares about lost people.  God is a forgiving God.  God gives people second chances.  God expects His people to obey.  God can do miracles!  

Test of Faith: Jonah - Week 3

Visit http://www.staircasestudio.com/jonah/index.html and read the Jonah comic book together!  If the comic book version is a little "too much" for your preschooler, you might find http://biblelessonsite.org/slideshow32.html this simpler version more appropriate.  Enjoy!

Test of Faith: Jonah - Week 2

If you can find a copy of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, use this as your family fun event!  Try reading the Jonah story from scripture first and then compare the Bible and movie.

After the movie, visit http://jonah.bigidea.com/html/arcade/index.html and let your children play some fun movie-themed arcade games!

Test of Faith: Jonah - Week 1

Visit http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/rrsamplepreJonah.html  and scroll down to Games & Activities.  Find the instructions for the "What did the Big Fish Eat?" Game.  Follow the instructions to make the whale and game pieces.  Then have fun playing together as a family!
