From The Pastor..

 A few years ago David Kinnaman led a research project and wrote a book to answer an important question.  He sought to discover what people outside of churches think about churches.   Sadly, his findings were not as positive as we would like. Kinnaman found that people outside the church do not actually know what churches are for or in favor of.  They only know what we are against.

LITTLE LIGHTS PRESCHOOL

Preschool has gotten off to a good start. We have 21 preschoolers in our MWF classes and 14 preschoolers in our T/TH classes. Our preschoolers are getting used to our class routine and spending time away from their parents.
We started the year off with activities on shapes. During September the class will work on the shapes triangle, rectangle, diamond, and oval.
The students will enjoy looking for objects in the room that have the shape of the week. Our MWF preschoolers will hear stories about Daniel. They will learn that God watches over them.
Our T/TH class will continue to hear Bible stories about God making the world. They will learn that God made the world and everything in it.
They have really been enjoying the new outdoor play area!
