Conductor’s Hat & Train Tickets What You Need: Sentence strips (one per child), “Hat” Activity Page, clear tape, and markers/crayons, Jesus Train Tickets (2/child) What You Do: Before the Activity: Copy the “Hat” Activity Page onto cardstock and cut on dotted lines (one per child). Set the sentence strips and markers on the tables. During the Activity: Give each child a “Hat” Activity Page to color. As they’re working, walk around the table, wrap a sentence strip around each child’s head, and secure it with tape. As children finish coloring, help them tape their hats to the front of the sentence strip. What You Say: During the Activity: “Right here on the front of our hats it says, ‘All aboard! [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone!’ Use your markers to color your hats, and I’ll come around and help you secure them to the strip so you can wear them home. (Allow time) These are conductor hats. Does anyone know what a train conductor is? It’s someone that helps keep you safe on trains and sometimes will take up your tickets when you get on. You will also get 2 Jesus Train Tickets to give to your friends or family. You can tell them all the things you learned on your trip this month in The Lighthouse.” After the Activity: “Your conductor hats look amazing! Remember: [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone. With Jesus, it’s always ALL aboard! Who does Jesus love? Say it loud! [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone.” 2. Trains Memory Match What You Need: “Memory Game Cards” Activity Page, cardstock, and scissors What You Do: Before the Activity: Copy the “Memory Game Cards” Activity Page on cardstock and cut on dotted lines (two copies per activity). Shuffle the cards and lay them face down in a grid pattern on the table. During the Activity: Gather the children around the table, and let each child take a turn turning over two cards to find a match. If a match is found, allow that child to take a second turn. If not, play moves to the next child. Once all matches have been found, identify the pictures on the cards. Then shuffle the cards, lay them face down, and play again as time and interest allow.

All rights reserved. • www.ThinkOrange.com 2 First Look 3- through 5-year-olds, February, Week 4 Small Group After the Activity: Gather cards for clean-up. What You Say: During the Activity: “Do you see the cards here? Let’s take turns turning over two cards to see if you can find two pictures that match. Pay attention as friends turn over the cards so you can find a match when it’s your turn!” After the Activity: “Let’s see. We have an engine, a train car, a caboose, and a heart! I LOVE trains! We can remember that when it comes to love, it’s like the conductor calling, ‘All aboard!’ Everyone is welcome because [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone! Let’s hear more about that in our Bible story! All aboard the love train, friends!” Transition: Move to Worship and Story by chugging like trains along a track. 3. Parachute What You Need: Foam hearts and a parachute or sheet What You Do: Before the Activity: Lay the parachute flat on the floor. Place the hearts on top of the parachute. During the Activity: Ask the children to stand around the parachute with you, and invite them to each pick up a section of the parachute. Invite the children to shake their arms so that the parachute moves very fast. Encourage the children to try to bounce the hearts high in the air. Repeat several times. What You Say: Before the Activity: “Hearts remind me of love. [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone!” During the Activity: “Let’s play with the parachute! We are going to put hearts on the parachute to bounce high because Jesus loves everyone.” (Do activity.) After the Activity: “Awesome job! Jesus loves everyone. Who does Jesus love? [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone!” Curriculum Materials for 3- through 5-year-olds • ©2019 The reThink Group, Inc. All rights reserved. • www.ThinkOrange.com 3 First Look 3- through 5-year-olds, February, Week 4 Small Group 4. Memory Verse Bridge (if time allows) What You Need: No supplies needed What You Do: During the Activity: Gather the children in the activity area. Have two leaders stand, facing each other, and hold their hands up over their heads to create a bridge. Instruct children to walk under the “bridge” one by one, creating a circle, as you repeat the words of the verse. For each repetition of the verse, when you get to the last word (“you”), leaders will catch the child in a hug with their arms, saying his or her name instead of “you.” This is the same movement you would complete for the song “London Bridge Is Falling Down” but without the song. Repeat so that every child has a chance to be “caught.” What You Say: During the Activity: “Friends! Let’s all walk under the bridge as we say our verse together! One you walk under, circle back around so you can walk under again! Let’s say our verse together as you go. Love each other as I have loved you, John 15:12.” (Do the activity.) After the Activity: “That was SO fun! Because [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone, He wants us to love others, too! Who does Jesus love? [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone!” LIGHTHOUSE: LARGE GROUP TIME Bible Story What You Need: A Bible and a large “1” cutout Optional Story Images can be found in the Large Group Images folder.

If you’re ready for a true story from the Bible about how to be a good friend, on the count of three, yell, ‘Tell me a story!’ One, two, three!” CHILDREN: “Tell me a story!” STORYTELLER: “One night, Jesus was having dinner with his friends, the disciples.

In 2021, American mothers are more connected to the internet than ever, consuming more audio online but listening to radio less, says a new study. According to Moms and Media 2021, an Infinite Dial report released last week by The Research Moms of Edison Research, 89 percent of U.S. mothers own a smartphone and 46 percent own smart speakers, a 39 percent increase from 2020. “More than ever, we in radio have to lean in to this group and find out how to keep and grow their loyalty,” says John Shomby, owner/CEO of Country’s Radio Coach Inc. “They’ve been introduced to more avenues of entertainment [TikTok, for example], and the industry must find a way to get and stay in the middle of that.

  • Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress
    Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Updated May 17, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41153 Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened interest in, and concerns about, the region’s future. The United States, by virtue of Alaska, is an Arctic country and has substantial interests in the region. The seven other Arctic states are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (by virtue of Greenland), and Russia. The Arctic Research and Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (Title I of P.L. 98-373 of July 31, 1984) “provide[s] for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead federal agency for implementing Arctic research policy. The Arctic Council, created in 1996, is the leading international forum for addressing issues relating to the Arctic. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sets forth a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic Ocean. The United States is not a party to UNCLOS. Record low extents of Arctic sea ice over the past decade have focused scientific and policy attention on links to global climate change and projected ice-free seasons in the Arctic within decades. These changes have potential consequences for weather in the United States, access to mineral and biological resources in the Arctic, the economies and cultures of peoples in the region, and national security.

  • ARSC Journal, Vol
    CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY By Tim Brooks "Current Bibliography" is an annotated index to research on recording history that has appeared recently in small circulation journals. It also includes news about those publications. Articles indexed here must be in English, be reasonably substantive, and deal with recording history. Articles on musicology, sociology, or contemporary activities and reviews are not included. "W!D" or "discog." indicates that the article was accompanied by something at least remotely resembling a discography. Issues covered this time were received between September 1990 and March, 1991. If you contact one of these publishers or authors, please mention ARSC and "Current Bibliography." Notes Another three bite the dust. Whiskey, Women and... , a fine historical rhythm and blues periodical from Dan Kochakian of Haverhill, Mass., has discontinued publication effective with issue no. 18/19 (Fall 1989) due to "the usual reasons of increased prices and decreased income." WWA was originally published from c.1972- 1975, then revived from 1982-1989, so maybe it will be back one day. But don't count on it. Needle Time, from England's Brian Rust, has expired for similar reasons after a five year run. The first indication that something was amiss came when I received the November, 1990 issue and noticed on the cover a reproduction of the label of Gennett 4699-"Farewell Blues." Then there's JEMF Quarterly, the pioneering country and folk research journal, forced to close its doors after more than 20 years. The Quarterly must hold the record for delayed publication; its final issue bears a nominal date of "Fall/Winter 1985," a publication date of "Fall 1990," and was received in February 1991.
