Memory Work for January 16

Grades 1-4 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.

You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. Psalm 145:15-16

Grades 5-8: The Fifth Petition
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
What does this mean?
We pray in this petition that our Father in heaven would not look at our sins, or
deny our prayer because of them. We are neither worthy of the things for which
we pray, nor have we deserved them, but we ask that He would give them all to us
by grace, for we daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but punishment. So we
too will sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin against us.

Memory Work for Wednesday, Dec. 19

Grades 1-4 are to continue learning their parts for the Christmas Program.

Grades 5-8 are to learn The Third Article of the Lord's Prayer.
The Third Petition
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What does this mean?
The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer, but we pray in
this petition that it may be done among us also.
How is God's will done?
God's will is done when he breaks and hinders every evil plan and purpose of the
devil, the world, and our sinful nature, which do not want us to hallow God's name
or let His kingdom come; and when He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word
and faith until we die. This is His good and gracious will.

Christmas Program Practice

Yep...it's that time of year again. All students should have received a part for the Christmas program. If you didn't get one, please see pastor ASAP! Practices will be Sunday, Dec. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 23 from 1:30-3:00.

See you there!
