November Highlights
During the month of November, the students were busy showing and giving thanks. Bulletin
boards were filled with thankful messages, turkeys and fall colors. For our Thanksgiving chapel,
the children placed their food donations around the altar in the sanctuary. Prior to chapel,
each child was asked for what they were thankful. Their teacher wrote their thanks on a paper
leaf. The “thankful leaves” were given to Pastor Schul to read during chapel. After the Pastor’s
message and some singing, the children, their family members and the teachers were invited to
be blessed by the pastor. We thank all of you for helping fill the food bank during the holiday
season with your contributions.
