Visionary Parenting Tonight/Next Week Info.

Tonights lesson will be "Go to the Ant" for the little ones
we'll be making ants to help remind us that God wants us
to do our work without being told and that God uses small
things to accomplish big things.

We will be doing fingerprint ants and having a special snack
(graham crackers and raisins) ants in an anthill. 

Next week we will be talking about the Fruit of the Spirit is Love.
We'll be planting tomato plants to take home, making little stakes
with our verse on to go in the plants.  We'll also be painting fruit

great.

Bring your fat plastic wiffle ball bats and balls,

we have several of the skinny variety. But the fatter ones are better for the younger folk, like me! 

Mud Warning for Thurs. Summer Fellowship Night

Just a warning especially for those of you with little ones for Thurs. night, hopefully the weather will be much warmer and the sun will shine Wed. and all day Thurs. and it won't be much of a concern.  But figured it would be worth noting that our yard is INDEED muddy right now.  Just had to bath the dogs before letting them back in the house this evening.  If you have little ones you may wish to bring a long a change of clothes or shoes that can be hosed off.  I know when we had a meeting here a few weeks ago the little ones kept finding the mud, we hosed down a few children before they left for the day!  so keep that in mind, hopefully the big kids won't have any problem remembering where the muddy spots are!! ??

We will be starting our Bible lesson in Daniel Chapter 1, so remember your Bible so you can follow along.  Steve will be teaching this week and Mr. Angelo (Terranella) the following meeting. 

Remember a lawn chair as well, we have some but not enough for everyone. 

We will be playing wiffle ball for our sport of the night.
