Good Morning,
Parents! It’s a great Wednesday!
Fall is finally in the air! We have several important things going on in October so let's jump right in!
BIBLE PALOOZA begins this Sunday morning and we have 22 children registered! We will present new Bibles to our 3rd graders at the 9:30 service on October 5th. Parents should drop their child off at BLASt as usual where they will attend their first Bible Palooza workshop before being escorted over to the main sanctuary. All children will come in and participate in Communion and then the 3rd graders will be presented their new Bibles. Don't forget to have them back each Sunday morning in October for the 9:30 service so that they can participate in each of the specially designed workshops just for them! If you haven't registered your child, it isn't too late to do so. I have just a few Bibles left. Register online at sugarloaf.org.
The EDGE Lock In and Corn Maze is scheduled for October 10th. This is one of the most fun activities we do all year for the 5th graders. They won't want to miss it. Make sure to sign your child up and any of their friends online at sugarloaf.org. Children should be dropped off at 6:30. Please feed them dinner before they come. We will leave immediately for the corn maze and will have a late night snack of pizza around 10:30 or 11:00 pm. Make sure that they have sleeping bag, appropriate clothes and toothbrush etc. You may want to send a jacket with them as we will be outside after dark!
Our next ReCHARGE special event will be October 29th at 6:30. Watch for more info on our "theme" and have your child begin preparing for a weird and wacky night!

Report:
Do you like to teach a lesson? Contact sgawlak@sugarloaf.org and she can plug you in to teach a 35 minute workshop once, twice or all month. All of the materials and lessons are provided. Teachers needed at 9:30 and 11:00 every month.
Not sure if that sounds like something you would like? Schedule a "shadowing" day and watch someone else teach!
Preschool has grown quite a bit over the last month so we now have to split the classroom at 11:00. The 3's or "Ready Rockets" are in room G and the 4's (pre-k children) or "Pre-K Comets" are in room L. Your children will not move up as they have a birthday but will stay in this room until promotion next August. We would love to have some of our preschool age parents sign up to be subs for the school year. Contact sgawlak@sugarloaf.org and let her know that she can call on you to substitute if needed!

Curriculum
Corner:
We take a break from our typical workshop rotations this month to join the church in a "Stewardship" lesson. The children will begin a unit called "PIGGY BANK UNIVERSITY". We will have skits and object lessons at worship and children will learn how God wants us to Earn Money, Give Money, Save Money and Spend Money. Watch each week as your child brings home a "Make It Stick" handout. These will be great "conversation starters" for your family during the week. If you have a 3rd or 5th grader, you will want your child at both services so that they can take advantage of their special classes this month (Bible Palooza and The EDGE) and also attend PIGGY BANK UNIVERSITY!The EDGE finishes Bible Bootcamp this week! If you have a 5th grader, challenge them to a "Books of the Bible" finding contest! They should know them better than you! Next, they begin a study of the book of Daniel in a curriculum called "Dared to be a Daniel". This unit really strives to show them how to go out and "talk the talk" about what it means to be a believer. Make it a priority to get your 5th grader here for the 11:00 service every week!
Offering
and Missions:
October will have us completing the Boys vs Girls offering contest and we will be dedicating our offering for our own church's use.
Beginning in late October, we will begin talking about our "SHOE BOX MINISTRY". We help supply around 150 shoeboxes filled with goodies to the boys and girls of the Pueblo Pintado Indian Reservation in Arizona. As you know, this is a ministry that our church has been a part of for 10 years. We want them to know that they aren't forgotten at Christmas. Some of these children will only receive the one box that they are given by the members of our church. Watch for the info to come home in a few weeks.
