Bible: December is our month to study the character quality of Love

            How fitting that it is the same month that we celebrate God

            sending His Son to be born and to ultimately save us! The motto

            in the workbook is “love God’s way: give each day”. Our new

            memory verse for next week is I John 3:18. “Dear children, let

            us not love with words and tongue but with actions and in truth.”

            This will be due on Friday, the 19^th.
