3 Preschool News from the Three's Class: We had a wonderful October learning about Autumn, recognizing the letters in our names, and counting to three. We took a trip to Belmont Pumpkin Patch and learned about how pumpkins grow and are harvested. We had a visit from the GVFR and got to meet a real Firefighter and his truck! Our Bible Discovery for this month was Genesis 1:1 where we learned about God's wonderful Creation. The Pre K-4 class has been learning about the fall season. Along with making special October crafts, we continue to study letters of the alphabet and numbers. Every week, we study a different Weekly Reader and enjoy our class discussions about the issue presented. Each Friday, the children share Show and Tell items and add a journal entry about the letter of the week and the Show and Tell items. Two Bible verses have been presented and an additional one will be added each month for memorization and understanding. The Bible stories have taught us how God loves and cares for us and also introduced the children to Abraham and Moses. This month, we went on an exciting field trip to Belmont Pumpkin Farm. In addition, we combined the 3 year old class with the 4 year old class to share and enjoy the visit from the Gloucester Fire Department. They learned about fire safety and they also got to enjoy a hands-on tour of the fire truck.

4 Psalm 100: 1&2 says - Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before him with joyful songs. What a blessing it is to come every Sunday evening and hear these young people shout for joy because they are glad to be in the house of the Lord. During the first 6 weeks of Awana, these children have brought in items to support Operation Christmas Child, excited to know they have a part in the gospel going around the world. Novembers' Mission Project will be again supporting Samaritans Purse. We will be collecting quarters to purchase chickens and recreational items for kids and families around the world. This month is also busy with the Grand Prix. Nov.10th - Pit Party at 7pm Nov. 16th Track set-up at 6:30pm Nov. 17th- Test run and qualify at 6:30pm Nov. 18th- RACE DAY at 10am. Thank you to everyone who ministered to the community at Hallowlujah. We gave out 750 Awana flyers, couple hundred church flyers, 90 lbs. of candies, 225 cups of coffee and the Lord gave us an opportunity to pray with a number of people. We praise Him for what He is doing. It was a great night of ministry. All glory to Jesus! Petsworth is hosting 3 other churches for the Grand Prix. We are excited to be able to share Gods' Word, fellowship and have some fun with other brothers and sisters in Christ. God is so good and we praise Him for the opportunity to host the first Awana Middle Peninsula Grand Prix. Please keep the staff in prayer as we get ready for this event.

Also thanking God for Gary and Meena Coleman for raising their boys in a household of faith. The 2nd Annual Red Cross Blood Drive The Senior Adult Ministry Attended the Glory Conference in Ridgecrest, NC. They enjoyed several days of great music, fellowship, preaching, and laughter! The blood drive, in honor of Mr. Neal Keen, took place Wednesday November 1, 2017 at Petsworth Baptist Church. Thank You to ALL the donors who came to donate this precious gift of life. Homeless Care Packages On October 18th, the youth group gathered supplies and assembled supply bags to be put into personal cars and given out upon seeing any people in need.
