June 15-19, 9:00am-12:00pm

This week is so much fun. It is a great opportunity to witness and invite friends and neighbors to attend and learn about GOD'S MIGHTY POWER AND LOVE! Registration forms are in the Friday Folders.

If your child has a summer birthday and they would like to celebrate at school please email me the date so that we don't end up with a ton of treats on one day!

We have been working on counting dimes, nickels, and pennies. This is something you could practice at home.

The TICKETS for those who participated are in the FRIDAY FOLDERS!

We do go outside at several times during the peak sun hours.
You may want to put sunscreen on your child in the morning or send some in their book bag to put on.
I know I got a little pink this week.

As it gets closer to summer I want to remind you not to take a vacation from God. This class loves to sing the various liturgies used in church. They also have a very mature prayer life. I ask that you continue to nourish their faith.

Make a commitment to attend church weekly.

Show your children that nothing is more important than God,
-not vacations (visit another church where you are vacationing),
-not sports (take advantage of the various services times and days),
-not sleeping in or boating or golf (show that God is important to you and make a point to worship even when it isn’t easy).

Your child will be blessed by your faithfulness to worship and will follow your example.

He tends His flock like a shepherd:

He gathers the lambs in His arms

and carries them close to His heart;

He gently leads those that have young.

Isaiah 40: 11
