Welcome back
old Sparkies and welcome new Sparkies!!
We are going to have a great year as we have many new shining faces for
Jesus! This year we are going to do as
last year working our way through the Bible – The Old and New Testaments - from
Creation to the time of Jesus on this earth.
We will learn how the Old Testament gives us glimpses of Jesus and then
in the New Testament learning about Jesus – Who He is and how He can be our
Savior. Sure, many of these accounts in
the Bible are referred to as stories – but they are more than that. These accounts are true life biographies –
each of these biographies sheds some light of why we need Jesus Christ as our
Savior and who He really was and is today.
Besides our study time together, each child works independently in their
books memorizing Bibles verses, so please work with your child to help him/her
– and you can commit them in your memory too.
The Bible tells us that we are to hide God’s Word in our hearts that we
might not sin against Him.
Tonight we
have studied one of the most amazing feats of time – God creating the world in
6 literal, remarkable days. Everything
God created was perfect – even the first man and woman. But something very bad happened – sin- with
that first man and woman that caused the perfectness to die. These two needed something to save them from
death, which was the penalty of their sin.
– We, a few thousand years later, have inherited that sin and that need
for salvation from the penalty of our sin.
We are going to spend the rest of year discussing that sin and that need
for salvation – from our Savior Jesus.
You are welcome to join us anytime at Sparks.
You can also check out the AWANA program at www.fbc.littletonil.org. The Sparks do have homework by working
through their books. Your child will
earn “sparks jewels” and other adornments for their Sparks uniform as they work
through their books and also with attendance.
To earn an attendance award, a child can only miss one unexcused absence
per quarter. (Excused absences
include: sickness, deaths, inclement weather, attendance at another church’s
AWANA.)
