Contest Page

Last month’s contest was to spell out the word Th!nk using everyday objects; maybe markers, or pillows, or even your brother’s toy cars or blocks! These are what you sent us:

Th!nk spelled out of paper and Th!nk spelled with your body

Our favorite was Th!nk spelled in sign language

Please excuse us publishing this page late. We were having difficulties adding the pictures for the contest page.

This month’s contest, however, is to take a picture of the best nativity scene you can find or make. You could take a picture of one if you look at Christmas lights with your family, you could make it out of dolls, or you could draw it. You could even take a picture of you and your friends, or family, dressed up like wise men, sheep, and shepherds! Have fun with this. We are looking forward to see what creative ideas you come up with. The prize will be that the winner will get to pick the names of the characters for Life’s Application in our next magazine!

…Or you could take it a step further and put on a play for your friends, neighbors, and family. Guess what play???… yup! The Nativity scene. One of my favorite family christmas traditions is that we all dress up as different characters in the Nativity story and we film it. We do this every year. It is a fun way to celebrate and remember the real reason for Christmas. What Christmas traditions does your family do? Please email us what you do.

The winner of the other gift cards name is Darbi. So congrats to both of you and remember to still get subscribers.

  • The challenge for this month encourages you to ask your friends and family to subscribe. We hope that we continue to get more subscribers and are able to share the message of Christ to them. We hope that you will help us get more subscribers. Read more about this challenge after G.A.C. it’s called the Subs Challenge.

  • To reach out to those around you (specifically your neighbors) we had an idea. We thought that you could make/bake a christmas treat for your neighbors and give it to them along with a tract. An idea is to make some sort of candy cane treat and give them a tract with the legend of the candy cane on it. For a tract or recipe just tell us and we have some tracts you can print.

  • Last month, we asked you what the Interview and Pet Tricks pages will be called. Your options were Detailed Dialog or Thorough Thoughts for the Interview Page and Training Grounds and training Space for the Pet Tricks Page. The names we picked are Training Grounds and Detailed Dialog.

  • This month’s character trait we chose was ‘Looking at the Bigger Picture’ who can you think of that did this in the Bible? What about Joseph? Read Genesis chapters 39-41 and think about all Joseph went through but what God accomplished through him in the end! Sold by his brothers while he was still a teenager, and then God made him prosper even when he was a slave. then, all of a sudden he was thrown into prison for something he hadn’t done. In prison God again gave him success and he interpreted two mens dreams; because of this, he was called to serve Pharaoh and eventually became the 2nd most powerful man in all of Egypt. Anyway, he eventually is reunited with his brothers who sold him and is able to see how God was able to use what seemed bad at the time for good and forgave his brothers.
