• Mary Poppins 
• The Rocketeer 
• The Lego Movie

• How to Train Your Dragon 

- Choose two of the following Greek god/goddesses and do a 3 minute presentation on each of them for the class.  Make sure to tell us one of the myths about that person.  E-mail Sis. Cloward (clowardjen@hotmail.com) with which one you chose so that we don't double up.  It would be better to check out library books from the children's section of the library on your person instead of searching online - that can sometimes be dicey when we're talking about the Greeks.

Become/Serve

On our journey through this life there are bumps and detours on our path.  These bumps and detours are allowed by our Heavenly Father to give us opportunities to learn, stretch and grow.   Watch this video and then ponder on times in our life when things didn't turn out exactly as you'd hoped they would or planned.  Was it for the best?  The saying goes that "hind site is 20/20".   We always see things more clearly once we're finished going through them than when we are in the middle of them.  Commit this week to trusting God and allow Him to be the gardener in all of the ups and downs you encounter everyday and trust that "all things work together for good to them that love God". (Romans 8:28)
