We are located at the Santa Clara First Baptist Church, 3111 Benton Street, Santa Clara, California, 95051.

  • This week we learned about Daniel in the lion's den! One of the activities involved some pretend lions and Larry (as Daniel) from the VeggieTales!

    THIS PAST WEEK
    (November 8, 2009)

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    This past Sunday in the SPEEDway, our Sonshiners class learned that making right choices is not always easy, but it is something we need to do to please God. And God will help us to do what is right when we ask for His help.

    We heard a true story about a man named Daniel who was asked not to do something that he knew he needed to do. He was told that if he prayed to God, he would be thrown into a den of hungry lions! Daniel had to decide whether to do what God wanted and be killed, or do what was wrong and stay alive! What decision do you think he made? What do you think you would have done in his situation? To learn more about Daniel, click HERE!

    We also played a game to help us learn the difference between making right decisions and wrong decisions. Our Sonshiners discovered that making the right decision isn't always easy as knowing what the right decision should be. But God wants us not only to know what is right, but to DO what is right and good, too!

    During our center time, we made our own lion masks out of paper plates! The masks can be used to help tell our Bible story at home to friends and family!

    A puzzle of Daniel was also available at one of the tables for children to put together along with books about Daniel and the visit he had in a den of hungry lions!

    This past week we learned that God wants us to try to make good choices -- even if making good choices is not easy to do.

    During our music time we learned a new Bible verse song. The song was called, "Do That Which Is Right And Good". The words to this song come from the Bible. God wants us to remember to do what is right. When we make good choices, it makes God very happy.

    Josie put together a puzzle of Daniel and the lions all by herself!

    Ali created a lion mask at the art table.

    Look at Sadiye's lion!

    Roar!!!


    THIS COMING WEEK
    (November 15, 2009)

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    Have you ever tried to work on a big task all by yourself? Maybe you had to clean your room and your room was REALLY messy! Doing things by yourself can often be difficult to do and some tasks take a long time for 1 person to complete. But when people work together, the job gets done much faster!

    This coming week, we'll hear a true story about some men who built a wall that surrounded an entire city! You won't belive how many days it took them to build it when everyone worked on the wall together. Make sure to come to the Speedway to find out more about this unbelievable story!

    Come to our Sonshiners class this coming Sunday as we learn more about Jesus and His love for us, and bring some friends if you can! (9:15 - 12:00).
