"God has been good to me". What a great Thanksgiving verse from Genesis! Why do you celebrate Thanksgiving - to give thanks to God for all He has done for you? Do you have a home, a family, food to eat, a job, freedom to attend church, and a great country in which to live? God has given all of these things to you! Pilgrims were thankful for God's goodness to them. From stories about these people our preschoolers will see that Thanksgiving is a great time to thank God for all the goodness and love that He has shown them. We will celebrate this special time by learning about the first Thanksgiving and creating colorful turkeys. We will continue our unit on colors; working on pink & white We will start working on shapes I thank God for all of my Little Lights and their parents! God surely has been good to me!

Children/Youth Ministries
Once again I am reaching out to you, the congregation of the North Judson United Methodist Church. Many of you have stated that having children and youth in our church is a high-priority to you. We cannot expect parents to bring their children to a church that doesn't offer programs for their children when they show up. The church needs more than just your words to help fill these positions! It needs YOU! If you are a screened volunteer or would like to be one, here are some positions we need filled now. They would require you to do it once every month:
9:00 Service (Children's Church P-5th Grades) The 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month
10:00 Sunday School Hour (P-5th Grades) The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th Sunday of each month
11:00 Service (Children's Church 1st-5th Grades) The 3rd, 4th, & 5th Sunday of each month
We also need subs for both times of Children's Church and subs for Sunday School and the nursery.
Please contact Kathy Vorm for more information!!
