Wow, I would love to thank everyone for sending their kids, for the parents who have stepped up to lead, and to the parents who donated supplies. Devo's is going very well so far this year. We appreciate your patience as we work through the bugs of being in a new place and starting a new program.
We have some exciting things planned for the kids this year, we are hoping to have lots of scripture verses hidden in the hearts of our younger friends as well as exploring the books of the Bible and the Old and New Testiment with all of our friends. We would love to have your student join us everyday, but if that is not possible we welcome them anytime.
Here is a break down of our week.
On Monday the younger friends are being introduced to a short ABC verse each week. The verses and stories are based from the book The Memory Bible The Sure-Fire Way To Learn 52 Bible Verses, created by Stephan Elkins. We have made picture type worksheets to go with each letter and put them in a book for each of the kids. In class we review the verse, talk about what it means a little, sing a song that goes with the verse, and they can write the verse and decorate the page in their book.
On Tuesday the younger friends review the verse from Monday, hear a Bible story that goes with the verse, and can make a picture in their book about that story to help them remember it.
On Monday and Tuesday the older friends are looking into the Old and New Testament's with Mike Lanser and Joel Smith. They are using exciting things like "quarter questions" to keep the kids engaged in learning more about God's word.
On Wednesday we all come together for Worship Wednesday's. This has been such a fun way to start out our day. Please come with your child sometime and check it out, your day will be blessed!
On Thursday our younger friends are going through the NLT Hand's On Bible and being introduced to the books of the Bible and what is in each book with Jane Lanser. Our older friends are studying Teen People of the Bible by Daniel Darling with Ann Lukas. Teresa Urivez is doing a special study with our 7th and 8th graders.
On Friday we all come together again for Fun Science Friday's. We are using Bible based experiments from Science & the Bible by Donald B. Deyoung and Show Me! Devotions for Leaders to Teach Kids by Susan L. Lingo. Also on the third Friday the older friends will be planning what they will be leading the younger friends for devotions the fourth Friday of the month.
