Review:
· In KidsCreek 252 we spent the month of November focusing on what God says about Gratitude. The Operation Christmas Child project gave many families a wonderful opportunity to put these lessons into practice with a tangible demonstration of Gratitude.
· On Sunday November 27th we finished up our focus on Gratitude. On this day we did something that I have never done with 200 children before. We didn’t actually have a communion service but we did show the kids how we remember the Lord’s sacrifice. After teaching the children about the Passover Feast and the Lord’s last supper with his disciples we gave each child a small cup of juice and a small cracker. We drank the juice and ate the crackers together just like the Lord did with his disciples and just like we do every month in the communion service. It was a very cool and I think memorable experience for the children. That day we learned to take “time to celebrate what God has done” for us. We learned Gratitude.
· Yesterday we were blessed by the Children’s Choir and the Little One’s in their Christmas presentations. These special days are very memorable for the children and leave a lasting impression upon their hearts. I couldn’t be more pleased with the joy and delight I saw on the faces of our children.

Forecast:
· In December First Look pre-school children will learn that God has given us His Son and that “Jesus wants to be our friend forever”! What a great lesson to focus on at Christmas! First Look (2 years through 5 years) will NOT meet on Christmas day.
· Our virtue for the month in KidsCreek 252 is Generosity. Instead of getting all “Wrapped Up” in the trappings of Christmas greed children will be challenged by God’s generous gift of Jesus and the idea of “Making someone’s day by giving something away”. KidsCreek 252 will NOT meet on Christmas day.
· We WILL have nursery for children 24 months old and below for the Christmas Eve and Christmas services.
