This week we will be having our "Happy Birthday Jesus" Party.  Cubbies will also be exchanging books.  The Maximum you should spend on the book is $5.  Please wrap the books and tag them as follows only: From Cubbie (your child's name).  This will ensure that the cubbies do not go home with the book that you purchased.

Great job with the name tags and taking the Cubbies to the restroom before dropping them off.

Bear Hug 5

Hi Parents and Leaders:

Its my prayer that all is well with you and your families.  Your Cubbies received a Luv E. Lamb patch on Wednesday if they have completed all 4 Bear Hugs.  They were placed in the bags within the books. It goes at the top of the A if this is the first year; for 2nd year Cubbies it starts the C.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask :>)

I will try to update the Blog this week.  Sorry :>(

Verse for this week: 

3 Year Old Cubbies (Blue Teams): And Jesus grew in wisdom.....

4 Year Old Cubbies (Red Teams): And Jesus grew in wisdom......Luke 2:52

Don't forget Under The Apple Tree Activity!

*****Last week almost all the Cubbies had to be taken to the restroom before or during story time.  It is very important that you take the children to the restroom before dropping them off.  Sometimes we are short staff and taking 12-15 Cubbies to the restroom somewhat takes away quality time from the evening.  Also bear in mind that at all times its 2 Leaders that have to take the Cubbies to the Restroom. *****

Great job on the Self Check-ins :>)

Continue to pray for and with the Swinson Family (Bob, Tom, Carol) the Bone Marrow Transplant is this week, so far all's going well...Praise the Lord.

We are still collecting candy for next week.  Thank you for your assistance.  Have a wonderfully blessed week :>)
