This half week was great.  We had a English test on Wednesday about nouns. We got to go to the Creation Semisaurus on Tuesday and had a Creation speech on Wednesday. He talked about Dinosaurs in the Bible. Did you know there were graveyards for Dinosaur bones? God created Dinosaurs on the sixth day with all the other animals. A couple references in Job tell about Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs have hollow bones but they were strong.Were Dinosaurs on the ark? Yes, There were many different species of dinosaurs. The word dinosaur comes from 2 greek words meaning terrible, powerful, and wondrous and the second word meaning lizard. A 800 year old Buddhist temple in Cambodia has carvings in the wall of dinosaurs. This speech was so fascinating and we learned so much. This week has been great. Especially the 4 day weekend.


 Hark - The Students Lead Advent Worship!
On Wednesday, December 5 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead the first Advent worship services at Zion Church.  This is a wonderful opportunity for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming.  Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and keep the date open.  Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be assigned soon. We are eager to begin preparations for leading worship as December will be here before we know it.

During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their message.  Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service, such as special drama, music, or “behind the scenes” parts.  Part of our Memory Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines.  Students will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents.  Any student who has had two years of music lessons or is in the Concert Band may offer to play for the services.  Selections must be:
     1)  sacred music related to the Advent or Christmas seasons of the church year
     2)  practiced and ready to audition the by the second week of November.
