Pieces of the Rock
Parents, 
Last night we had an Early Literacy Night here at school for all PK-K kids and their families. We had 25 kids and their parents in to learn more about the process of learning how to read and also help parents best aid their kiddos in this endeavor. This event reminded me of a couple things. First off, how great our school and church community is! We had preschool teachers, school teachers, families, even our kitchen manager all take time out of their busy schedules to come together for our kids. People that no doubt have tons and tons of things to do but still, found baby sitters, put off plans, or simply gave up a night at home to help. It amazes me every time we have an event here, the outpouring of love and volunteers that are willing to step up to the plate.

Secondly, it reminded me, as I listened to the conversations going on, that we are always learning. Listening to parents talk about all the resources they learned about to help their kids, to the kids excitedly proclaiming the fun they had while with our preschool teachers. I am reminded that we are all continually learning and growing. 

Thankfully, as we go throughout our life and continually fall short, we are reminded constantly of the love our Lord shows for us. That while we were still unworthy and still sinners, Christ died for us. We continue to strive for perfection trusting and knowing that when we fall short, the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross on Calvary washes us clean. What great news! As we learn and grow here on earth and develop our God given abilities we know Christ has washed us clean. Praise be to God!

In Him,

Chris Brune
