Back 2 School Bash Week 2




Week two has come and gone as quick as a flash! This week in the 5th and 6th grade room we had a girl dressed in 15 green t-shirts, a green hat and green swimming goggles to rack up a whopping 170 points for her team!!  The day was a blast and we are now in crunch mode for next week! Next week is our last week to earn points for our teams.  The following Sunday we announce the grand prize winner.  Remember, you can still win the Grand Prize all you have to do is bring as many friends in as possible and sport your team color!  

This week we talked about humility and putting others first.  At the tower of Babel the people had forgotten about what God wanted them to do and the people decided to do what they wanted to do.  We learned that God wants us to put others first.  

Week 2 Scripture Verse:  "Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor."  Proverbs 18:12

Power Burst: God wants me to put others before myself.

Bible Story: The Tower of Babel  Genesis 11:1-9

*Don't forget to put others first by bringing in your donations for Uganda next week.  All your stuff will go to an orphanage in Uganda where children need shoes, blankets, puzzles, non-electronic games, and school supplies.
