What's Happening & More! 8.21.17
First United Methodist Church Trussville Children's Ministry
Acolyte Refresh & Training
Wednesday Night August 23rd
Wednesday Night Explore For the next few weeks elementary agers will learn about the books of the Bible along with some simple hand motions to help them remember what each book and what it is about. The goal is that by Thanksgiving we'll be able to say all 66 books of the Bible from memory and have a general idea of what each book is about. CHILDREN WILL NEED THEIR BIBLES. We will have a Books of the Bible Challenge. By mid-November children that can recite the Books of the Bible in order by heart will receive a $10 Five Below gift card.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We need one to two adults each week to join us. Not only will you be able to brush up on the Books of the Bible BUT you will build relationships with our children. It is so important for each child in our ministry to have several adults that love them and care about them. Wednesday nights are a bit more relaxed and lots of fun. We always need at least two adults in our room to meet Safe Sanctuary policies. As many of you know I am having knee replacement surgery the end of this month and will be out for a few weeks. Please consider helping to lead during this time and/or assist. Sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0549acaa23ab9-wednesday2

The Poor Widow’s Offering Mark 12:41-44; Luke 21:1-4
“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. ‘For God loves a person who gives cheerfully’ ” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Jesus points out a poor widow who drops two coins into the collection box at the Temple. Although many rich people give far more money, Jesus is most impressed with her gift because she generously gives everything she has to live on. Jesus loves givers.
