We have chosen the theme: From Zero to Hero

This Sunday coincides with Halloween and so has an extended children's section containing special material that can be used for a children's "Saints and Heros" party which should be run in the early evening to give children an alternative to either going to Halloween Parties or out on the streets "Trick or Treating".

Video

There is an animated video of the song "Zacchaeus from Jericho" by Jim Bailey. All the photos are of Jericho including the sycamore tree, however, this is unlikely to be the one that Zacchaeus actually climbed up as they live a maximum of 1,000 years. Grandchild, perhaps? - Download - Sample

Word

Readings:

	Psalm 32 is available on Lectionary Video C4 - Sample
	Luke 19:1-10 is available on Lectionary Video C6 - Sample The artwork is by David Hollingsworth and all the photographs are of New England in the fall

Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4	Psalm 32	This week's readings are from the NIV. Most of the backgrounds are of Jerusalem. The background of the Luke reading is of a sycamore tree in Jericho. The Psalm has "Selahs". It is thought that this was a pause and the people where encouraged to praise the Lord with a crescendo of noise. It is rather fun to repeat this ancient custom, so why not hand out instruments to the children and encourage them to make a noise at the right moment.
