November 19th at 6:00 pm. Bring some of your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes, desserts and neighbors to join us. Turkey and beverages will be provided. If you would like to cook one of the turkeys, please notify June McLean @ 233-8555
SUNDAY EVENING CHILD CARE
The purpose of the Sunday evening child care is to allow parents of young children to attend church-sponsored Sunday Evening programs without having to arrange for child care at their homes. Several church members have been glad to volunteer their own time so that parents can have child care on-site. Child care for Parents-Nigh-Out is not available at this time.
It is much wiser and safer to have a parent available in the church building in case of an emergency with the child arises. For that reason, we are implementing a simple procedure of asking the parent to indicate where they will be in the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
The Christian Education Team.
THANKSGIVING SERIVCE
We will have a special worship service for Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m.
This is an informal time of praise and testimony which has become a holiday tradition.
The choir will rehearse right after the service. We have no Wednesday evening activities that week so people who travel for the holiday can get an early start.
AWANA MINUTE
Awana is for children age 2 – 12th grade. We meet Wednesday nights from
6:05 – 7:30 PM.
October was a busy month in the life of our Awana club. We grew in size from September, met some new friends, welcomed back some old friends, and are having fun learning more about Jesus our savior.
Eleven of our TnT clubbers and 4 adult leaders attended Junior Jam, an annual event held at Cedarville University for kid’s grades 3 – 6 Saturday October 14, 2017. We had fun and were amazed by the unique testimony presented by Christian juggler Jessie Joyner who captivated us with how he juggles many different objects all while delivering an incredible series of lessons that make up his testimony.
While clubbers and leaders were at Junior Jam, 2 of our Directors were refilling their tanks at the Awana leaders conference in Grove city Ohio.
Wednesday October 18 clubbers arrived to club eager to sport the self-generated hair styles in support of our theme “crazy hair night”. Clubbers and leaders ushered in a new style of hair care with Crazy Hair Night at Awana. Another night of fun and Bible learning complete with prizes and yes some interesting hair.
November will be dedicated to giving, clubbers have been asked to fill and bring in shoe boxes for Operation Christmas child, and will be asked to bring in non-perishable foods to help stock our food pantry to give love and food to the needy in our Church, neighborhood, and community for the holidays.
There will be NO club Wednesday November 22 for all to give thanks with their families.
Club will resume Wednesday November 29 where we will also open the 1st Awana store of the year for clubbers to get their first experience with the treasures the store shelves hold!
Thank you to all volunteer listeners who are helping our clubbers learn Gods word so they can begin hiding it in their hearts.
We ask that you continue to partner with us by praying for everyone involved in club each week, and for future clubbers that will visit our club. Thank-you for your continued support in this ministry!
Because Kids matter to God!
Cool with Christ
Tere Sharp, Co-Commander

NOVEMBER MISSION FOCUS
At Dayton Christian Schools, we boldly proclaim a Christian worldview in all that we do. We seek to prepare our students for life by providing strong, Christ-centered, Biblically-based academics, a full spectrum of athletics, excellent fine arts, and a multitude of service opportunities. Along the way, our students are impacted daily by our “living curriculum”- our faculty and staff living out their own walk of faith before them. As a result, our students learn to seek God’s truth for their lives. A DCS graduate is prepared for college or the career world and ready to impact their world in a God-honoring way.

“What Kind of Throne?”
On Sunday evening, December 17th at 7 pm, the Choir and Youth Ensemble will be presenting “What Kind of Throne?”
It explores the reason why Almighty God would not only choose to come to earth as an infant to one day give His life to save us from our sin, but would choose to born into a poor family in lowly circumstances. We hope this retelling of His unfathomable love for us will help you draw closer to the God who sought us….and found us! Save the date & invite a friend!
