It Was The Christian Thing To Do

It Was The Christian Thing To Do

By CMIV

Text (Luke 10:36-37) “What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers? “The one who treated him kindly,” the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, “Go and do the same.”(The Message -Eugene H. Peterson)

God of the Incredible

God of the Incredible

By CMIV

2 Kings 6:1-7; “The company of the prophets said to Elisha, Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to live. And he said, Go.

Then one of them said, Won’t you please come with your servants? I will, Elisha replied. And he went with them. They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees. As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. Oh, my lord, he cried out, it was borrowed! » I want to read more! »

Rewards go along way!

Rewards go along way!

By CMIV

I always keep a Sunshine Bucket in my office. The Sunshine Bucket is bright yellow and filled with all kinds of doo-dads (toys and trinkets from Oriental Trading, coupons for free kid’s meals and ice cream, stuff from the $ store). Whenever a child has something to celebrate (birthday, straight A’s, new baby sibling, etc.) they get to go to the Sunshine Bucket. Often adults in the church will bring in stuff to stock my bucket! And local fast food restaurants will donate coupons! The kids (and parents) love it!

Making Pre-K Classroom Clean Up FUN

Making Pre-K Classroom Clean Up FUN

By CMIV

To make clean up after “free play” easier and more fun, take pictures of the toy (digital cameras work great for this), laminate the photo, then put it on the outside of the bin or on the shelf where the toy belongs. This enables pre-readers to put things back, and the kids feel great about themselves for cleaning up.  – by Lori Harris

Memorizing Philippians 4:8 thru Puppetry

Memorizing Philippians 4:8 thru Puppetry

By CMIV

We have put this verse to music and we sing the song about— if we get bad thoughts or bad dreams the we sing the verse. We get some puppets up front and as we mention bad thougths bad things or bad dreams then the puppets start to shake as in fear. Then we say the verse and the —- alligator puppet comes along and EATS ALL THOSE BAD THINGS AWAY. (Remember what the verse’s address is 4: 8 or ATE) Then we sing —Let’s think about good things — Let’s think about pure things –Let’s think about praise worthy things —- » I want to read more! »
