Spotlighting Students and Volunteers

The Rojas family provided snacks for us this week, and we are grateful to them fordoing so! A nice variety of fruits and veg-

gies was a special delight for the kids, and Ihave to say that I did not know I had somany little “rabbits” in my class! The roomwas practically silent while the kids nibbled

their carrots! Thank you for the snacks!Also, thank you to those who have

volunteered to help in the PTF Christmasstore! We still need more volunteers,

though! Please consider serving in this way!I need to extend one last thank you to

those parents who have volunteered to transport kids to SunnyView Care Centeron Monday, December 13! We wouldn’t beable to go without your help! Thank you!

Zephaniah 3:17“The Lord your God has arrived to liveamong you. He is a mighty Savior. He willrejoice over you with great gladness. WithHis love, He will calm all your fears. He will

exult over you by singing a happy song.”

A Bible Course Map for the Upcoming Week

Monday: (Gen. 27:41-28:22) Rebekah tells Jacob to leave to find a wife in Haran. God protectsEsau from hurting Jacob by doing so. While

traveling, Jacob stops to sleep, and the Lordcame to him in a dream. God encouraged Ja-cob in the dream by telling him He would pro-

tect Jacob and provide for him. There wereangels going up and down a ladder, and Godwas using them to tell Jacob He is a God whoforgives sin if we confess it to Him. Jacob

then worships God. Tuesday: Review of previous lesson.

Wednesday: Chapel review and extension. Thursday: (Gen. 29-31) Jacob meets Rachel andwants to marry her. He agrees to work for

Rachel’s father so he can marry her. Jacobloves her, so the time he has to work passesquickly. Rachel’s father lies to Jacob, and heis given the wrong bride. He works seven moreyears, and then, God allows him to marry Ra-chel. He learns the importance of treating

others the way you want to be treated. Friday: Review of previous lesson.
