Dear Sparkie Parents,

Our story of Mosses continued as he leads the Israelites into the desert. God was providing for them each day with food and water. God lead them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night. These pillars were there to lead them and show that God was always with them but, wait it gets better! God was going to speak directly to the nation of Israel. They were given three days to prepare. God Himself came down on Mount Sinai. The Israelites found out that this was more than they expected. Being in the presence of their creator who was directly speaking to them was more than they wanted. It was a very frightening experience. God was going to give them His rules to live by for their good. But, rules did more than tell them what to do and what not to do, they were to show all of us that we are sinful  can’t follow all of the rules all of the time. By knowing what is right and wrong, they will see that they do not measure up to God’s standard and deserve to be punished. The only way to avoid this punishment and be right with God is to have someone take the punishment for them. That someone is Jesus for all who accept Him as the one who will save them from the punishment they deserve. You can read the story in the book of Exodus chapters 19 and 20.

As the weather turns cold, be sure to have your children dress appropriately. There were over 50 kids plus 20 adults in church last week. It can be hard to keep track every glove and mitten. There is a lost and found in the church if hats and gloves are miss placed.

Remember you are always welcome to have dinner with us and share in the fun. Last week we had Colorado Hot Dogs! Please visit our web site at fbclittletonil.org to learn more about the First Baptist Church of Littleton, Awanas and other activities we provide.
