The children’s Sunday School lesson for this Sunday comes from 2 Kings 22:1-33; 23:1-3. It’s about a very young king, Josiah! Josiah was a good kid. Even though he was very young, he tried to do what God wanted him to do. He even collected money so they could fix the Temple where they worshipped God. Josiah wanted it to be a nice place to worship God. Ask your child what he/she can do that is great!
Today’s Stewardship Lesson for
Children’s Sunday School: We will read 2 Kings 12:10-11 and talk about where our money goes after we put it in the offering plate.

A Bright Idea for Parents
Written by Sondra Buell
The season of Advent begins the Sunday after Thanksgiving and lasts for four weeks. It’s the Christian season of PREPARATION for the birth of Jesus Christ.
As a child, I have fond memories of my family lighting candles on our Advent Wreath. Our church lit Advent candles during worship, but we also had a wreath at home, lit the candles daily, and read a short devotion. The anticipation of lighting the candles, combined with the countdown to Christmas, prepared our hearts and our minds for the real reason for the season - the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Through this activity, I grew to love Jesus.
If this is something that interests you, I will be leading a mini workshop on Wednesday, November 19th. It will begin after HIS Kids at 7:15 pm and will last approximately 45 minutes. Bring your kids along to this workshop. I’ll teach you how to make a simple Advent Wreath, hand out short devotions to read with your children, and share some background information about Advent.
The Nursery Committee will be hosting a Nursery Worker Appreciation Dinner on Thursday evening, November 20 at 7:00 pm. We APPRECIATE all those who care for our littlest Methodists!
