BLAST Feb. 13

This week's lesson was all about love. We talked about the greatest commandment--to love God and love our neighbor. The combined BLAST and Jr. High classes made Valentines and played "People Bingo". One of the squares on the Bingo cards had to be signed by "Someone who can quote John 3:16". This is one young person's quote of the verse--"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not 'vanish'... Credit was given and I'm certain I heard a chuckle from Heaven.

BLAST Update

The first semester of BLAST is nearly finished. The children have had a lot of fun learning about bible heroes. On Sunday, Dec. 5 we talked about Jonah and the lesson he learned about being obedient to God. The children made these whales as a reminder to obey God and to follow His instructions in all that we do.

Creche Tree

This year we have a tree at the Homer City Building. This tree was built by Tom, and various folks donated a creche to be displayed, four in all. The Homer librarian, Christine, selected several books that are displayed around the tree. There are also other trees on display at the city building from various organizations, shops and groups around town. On Saturday, December 4th, there will be a cookie walk and craft sale at the city building. Lunch will be available.
