Everyone has a talent, and those talents are needed to help share God’s Word with the children who will attend!

Take time to enjoy a QUOTEFALLS “BIBLE QUOTE” PUZZLE The object of QuoteFalls is to construct a quotation by selecting from available letters in the vertical columns. The letters in each column of the puzzle will go into the squares immediately below them, but not necessarily in the order they appear. A word broken at the end of a line will continue on the next line. A black square indicates the end of the word. When all letters are in their correct squares, you will be able to read a quotation across the grid from left to right. NOTE: If you need a hint, check the bottom of the BIRTHDAYS section.
