Good morning everyone! Friday we had a great discussion about how merciful God is that He sent his Son so that we could have eternal life with Him.

I hope everyone is doing well. We had a timely discussion about our parable of the rich fool this week as Christmas decorations start popping up all over. I challenged the class to really think about the abundance of blessings they had and how they could share not just their things, but their time, talents, and most of all their faith. I encourage everyone to watch the movie The Christmas Carol as you relax over Thanksgiving break. Our homework for Tuesday, November 8 is to read Luke 13:1 - 9. We are continuing to learn about parables not found in our blue bible. Today I will be sending home a participation grade for my class. Be on the lookout!

My heart is full as we work together to sow the seeds of scripture in these young people so they can glorify God in all they do! My goals this year are simple.

Please email me with any questions you might have.
