Area 56


Thanks to the creative work of TJ Rizzo the Boys 5th and 6th grade class, Area 56, had a great hands-on lesson Wednesday evening. The boys have been “Walking through the Old Testament” and studying the tabernacle, temple, and the Arc of the Covenant. This week they were treated to a life-sized replica of the arc with the Ten Commandments inside. They learned of the Lord’s command to build this arc and what He told the Israelites to place inside of it.

The boys were awestruck to learn of the power of God and stories the Bible told about this Golden, Earthly Throne of God.

Bible Bookmarks

Did your child come home with a "Bible Bookmark" this past Sunday after EKG hour? I sure hope so. A friend of mine gave me some samples to share with our ministry. After reading up on the Bible Bookmarks, I thought that this would be a great tool to use to help form good habits of reading God's Word on a daily basis.

I highly encourage you, as parents, to get involved with this program. It is simple and requires very little time..... However, the impacts of what kind of habits can and will form through the discipline of completing the Bible Bookmarks are beyond any reward we can give here on earth.

The Bible Bookmarks have a few verses to read each night. Read and please mark each night that your child read. Read the verses, sign the back of the bookmark, and bring back on Sunday for a "Treasure Box" reward.

Right now, the SONKID'S class is the only class participating in the Bible Bookmarks. However, I have ordered enough for the entire children's ministry to use. Please keep a eye out for these!

I am looking forward to hearing how your family implements these in your home!!!

***If your child did not receive a Bible Bookmark, please feel free to pick one up at the TeamKID table on Wednesday or call Mandy Turner to get one sooner!
