Weekly Update for Mar. 11, 2009

Good afternoon, everyone! Wasn't the snow amazing? But I'm ready for some 70 degree weather, how about you?

This week at M4M, we will be discussing chapter 8: "Threat From Other Kingdoms." So, if you get a free moment, take a look at the chapter so we can have lively discussion! If you are swamped and don't get to it... come anyway! Don't let a little non-reading guilt make you miss out on a fun time. Amber's group will be providing snacks, so come hungry.

Next week (March 18) we will be doing a craft event and we will talk more about that on Wednesday, plus I'll have an update in next week's email. Snacks will be provided by Angela's group.

See you Wednesday!
Karen

MOSES AND THE RED SEA
Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea , he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?" his Mother asked. "Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!"

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much
practice, he could barely get past the first line.

On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up
to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."
