Sunday School Update

Wow, time sure does get away from you, especially when you are busy.....Sometimes your home life, and things that surround it, takes away from free time, to just sit and blog, or anything else it seems......
Well church has been going awesome. Last few weeks we have had short revivals, and so, when we have speacel speakers, I tend to have the kids in the Sanctuary.........
We have been maintaining a good solid group of about twelve, give or take a few each service, but then again, when your sunday school is made up of kids that you pick up on the bus, then you have days when the kids are not enterested in going, contributed by the parents, who don't really care about there childrens relationship with God......
But I will say, that there are a few parents that do everything they can to help with making sure their kids go to sunday school, well everything but go themselves......... Lord willing that will change when we do our christmas program... We are the sponsers in our town for the toys for tots, and we wil be having a special service on saturday 19th, and sunday 20th. Lord willing some sunday school kids' parents will attend, to watch their kids in action.......also we should have alot of visitors......

SO READY FOR MORE SOULS TO COME INTO THE CHURCH!!!!!!!!

Old Fashion Day............

Praise the Lord everyone. Hope everybody had an awesome move of God in there services yesterday. We had our old fashion day service, and let me tell you, that was what it was, an old fashion move of God swept through that sanctuary, and we just had a good time in the Lord.
Our Sunday School was down. Only four kids. don't sound real encouraging does it? Let me explain..........
During the Halloween "holiday", our city has a week long festival called Neewollah. There is a big parade on Saturday, there is a carnival and tons of food stands, along with lots of different activity. Well every year we have to deal with tired children, who had to much fun, and are to wore out to got to Sunday School.
I think if there are two hindrances for our Sunday school, it is Neewollah, and the city swimming pool in the summer time. However, we are not down, or discouraged, because we know that God is wanting to bless our Sunday School, and bring people in through that ministry, along with our Jail ministry, our retirement home ministry, and services that were having in two neighboring cities that don't have a oneness apostolic church.
The scripture says "be not weary in well doing, for ye shall reap if you faint not". I feel that we are making a big accomplishment in our Sunday School, seeing that all of our kids, are being brought in on the bus, and do not have any roots in the church of the living God.
I just can't wait till our number gets back up to 60 kids like we had just a few years ago.
Everybody have a blessed day, and understand, that whatever you do for the Lord, is not in vein. Somebody is going to be blessed, and you can be assured that you will to...............

SUNDAY SCHOOL 10/25

Well, once again, we had a blast with the Sunday School kids. There was 16 today, could be bigger, but God is moving anyhow... We enjoy getting to be able to help fulfill the scriptural principle in bringing up a child in the way, he or she SHOULD go and.
We had some Padro, and Puppet fun. Those guys are a hoot, and they are full of prizes.


Our Dollar bill prizes were Eathen, Chandler, and Kaleigh.
-NOW I WANT EVERYBODY TO NOTE THIS-
After receiving the dollar, Chandler went strait to the offering plate, and gave it back to the work of God. Lord Bless Chandler, for learning the things we teach.
Our Prize winners were (Out of town guest) Sierra, Ashton, and Chance. Winners received a 2-Dr. Pepper, which is always a favorite with our kids.


Then the best part. THE LESSON.
Sis. Stacie taught again (lesson hog).
The lesson she taught was a lesson that all should know. The oneness of God.
Using the scripture from Duet. 6:4, Hear o Israel, the Lord our God is ONE LORD. To illustrate this lesson, she held up an egg.

This is a Picture of my wife holding a egg...


She talked about how God was like this egg, how there was only one.

She then cracked the egg, and put the shell in one cup, and the whites in another, and then the yoke in another. Explaining how the egg had all these in one, and you can't get just the yoke, or just the whites, or just the shell, but they come in the form of one egg.



Well God is deffenetly a good God.


LORD BLESS YOU!
Bro. David

SUNDAY SCHOOL 10/18

Another fun filled day at Truth Tabernacle. As always we started out in the sanctuary, singing and praising our Lord Jesus.


After that..............THE DOLLAR BILLS, where we hand out three dollar bills, every Sunday, and our winners, Latavia, Titon, and Breven

Next, we had our three Prize Patrol winners, Daniel, Latavia (again), and Breven (again)


Then Sis. Stacie taught a very good lesson to the kids........... about a man in the bible that was called Legion, because he was possessed by 2,000 demons, WOW, that's a lot of demons. Well Jesus came walking by, and went to cast out the demons, when they begged Jesus to let them go into a heard of pigs. The pigs then ran, into the sea, where they drowned. When the people of the city found out, the all came and asked Jesus to leave there coasts. While Jesus and the disciples were getting ready to leave, The man that was once filled with 2,000 demons came to Jesus, and asked if he could go with him. Jesus replied,I need you to stay here, and show everybody what great things God done for you. You can read about that story in bible Luke 8:26-40

After teaching the bible lesson, Sis Stacie then presented the class a great big pumpkin, and said, just like that man in the bible that was filled with the demons, we are all like a pumpkin in a pumpkin patch. Waiting for Jesus to pick us up, and clean us on the outside, and on the inside. Then just as Jesus told that man to tell everybody about what God did for him, He puts a light down inside us, and tells us to be a witness to everybody about what Jesus did for us. That light is the very presence of Jesus living inside of us we call the Holy Ghost. We carved the word Jesus in the pumpkin, and set a candle inside of it, and turned off the light, and everybody could see Jesus on the pumpkin. That's exactly how it is, when you get the Holy Ghost inside of you, it shows to all the world.

THANK YOU SIS. STACIE FOR THAT AWESOME BIBLE LESSON.


Then we had some puppet fun, in which the puppet was mean to Brother David, but it was funny, and the kids had a good time.


After that, we all said that we would go home, and let everybody know what we learned about in Sunday School, a part of letting our light shine...................



GOD BLESS YOU........
Bro. David

Oh Boy, we sure did have a good time in Sunday School. We had 21 kids on our bus, and that meant singing loud, and having fun. This is a picture of our Apostolic Cool Kids, standing by the bus, waiting for the ride home. Along with Sis. Nichole (Sunday school teacher, and Bus secretary)...__________________________________________


Latavia, Hazel, and Tonna (being held by my wife Sis Stacie), were our three dollar bill winners, Way to go.......

And of course, the three winners of our Prize Patrol, Trae, Chandler, and Jonathan...

We are so excited about these 21 kids coming to Sunday School. Today we learned about the seven days of creation. Sis. Stacie taught the lesson. These are the order of the days.

1:) God created the heavens, and the earth, and commanded the light to shine.

2:) God created the Sky, and clouds

3:) God created the dry land trees, and plants

4:) God created the sun, moon, and stars

5:) God created the fishes, and the birds

6:) God created the animals of the land

7:) God rested from all his labor.

Thank you God for all your labor, we wouldn't be here in this beautiful world if it wasn't for your labor. In fact we wouldn't be living here if it wasn't for his labor, because on day 6, humans were also created, to rule over the animals, and to take care of the earth.

Hope everybody has a blessed week, and see you next sunday............
