Our rotation on Elijah and Elisha was exciting. We learned what a prophet is, how Elisha received Elijah’s special cloak by seeing him go up to heaven. Also, we learned about the woman and her son who gave the last of their food to Elijah, and in return, had enough food to make it through the drought. Elijah also saved the woman’s son after he died. We watched movies on the miracles that both prophets had done in the Lord’s name. We made bread from heaven, stepping stones, and a wheel of Prophets.

      We started practicing for our Christmas program. The Youth Christmas Party is Sunday, December 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, in the Fellowship Hall, and we ask that you dress festively. The Sunday School-led worship will be on Sunday, December 14. There won’t be any Sunday School for the following two weeks. Thank you to everyone who is helping us out with the program. We would also like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
