If you need an uplifting thought before heading into this weekend, consider this… You are exactly where you need to be right now!  This goes along with a thought from one of my devotionals this morning.  “Some plants die if they have too much sunshine. It may be that you are planted where you get but little, you are put there by the loving Husbandman, because only in that situation will you bring forth fruit unto perfection. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.” -C.Spurgeon

Be encouraged that God knows exactly where you are and where you need to be!  Trust in Him!

-Pastor Gary

Born to Completely Save –

A paper fold is one of the easiest creative arts-style methods to captivate your kids while teaching the Gospel!

In this “Born to Save Completely” Paper Fold, using step-by-step picture instructions, you will easily create a beautiful paper poinsettia, the Christmas flower.

Going a step beyond kids’ common knowledge that Jesus was born to save us from sin, the lesson ends with 6 rarely known aspects of the word “save,” and expressing that Jesus “saving” us is –like the poinsettia– even more beautiful than we imagined. Jesus came to restore to us the very meaning of life, knowing God!
