This week, our students learned about ✨COMPASSION✨ from the story of Jonah! Jonah didn’t have compassion for the people of Nineveh. God told him to do something we wasn’t ccomforatble doing! We asked some of our more shy friends to go out of their comfort zone to do something silly in front of the class. Sometimes God calls us out of our comfort zone to do something that will serve others.

Do you have the gift of Dicernment? We played 2 truth and 1 lie with our students and they were convinced they could tell the lie Ms. Bri had told them, but they couldn’t. It can be hard to tell truth from lies in today’s world, but our kids learned that we can seek the answers from God and His word. What a blessing and honor we have to teach these students! Want to be a part of it? Go to Lifewise.org/northadamsin to get connected today!

✨TIS THE SEASON✨The Lights for LifeWise Festival of Trees is coming up soon! Bring your family for a fun and affordable Chrsitmas event! Vote for your favorite tree, get hot cocoa and cookies, meet Santa and support all three Adams County LifeWise Programs! We will see you there!

Each and every one of us has been given unique gifts from God! Today we learned about Samson and his gift of strength! Our students to to see how hard it was to use their gifts (lifting a heavy box) while being inhibited (with oven mitts) when because we were not following the rules God gave us! We also saw the sacrifice Samson made by pushing down the pillars!

This week, students learned about CONFIDENCE and the Battle of Jericho! Ms. Bri was sick so Ms. Vanessa taught this lesson and didn’t get many photos! Our students got to reenact walking around the wall of Jericho and then shouting for the wall to fall down! Some students weren’t so sure about yelling inside and others leaped at the chance! This was a fun lesson for sure!

✨WHOLEHEARTEDNESS✨ A big word for a concept all our kids knew! Give 100% in everything you do! Today our students learned about the building of the the tabernacle! They were so excited to decorate their own tent as we found out how the first holy place of God’s people was made!

Today we learned about the Ten Commandments! We learned that God wants us to submit to Him and trust in His plan for our lives. Our kids always bring so much life and joy into our classes! We are truly blessed to do this ministry!

Lights for Lifewise is an amazing Tree Festival fundariaser for all 3 Adams County Lifewise Programs! More details will be posted about the event. But now we need Trees!
