THIS PAST WEEK AT PRESCHOOL: The preschoolers had a review week. They also added in a family-themed unit. The 3-year-olds reviewed the letters Aa; the numbers 0-2; Creation days and Adam and Eve falling into sin. They made an apple craft that represented good (no worm) and bad (worm). The four-year-olds reviewed the letters E,F Ll, H, Ii and T and lots of name practice! Both classes had a chance to share their family picture and tape it on the family board in front of the room. They also graphed their families on a large bar graph. Come check it out on the outside of the classroom door! They made a family tree and read about different types of families. Fire drills were also completed this past week.

Fathers consign their children to abortions (Mark 13:12). Children encourage their parents toward physician-assisted suicide. The latter days have come upon us. Let us hearten each other with the promise of resurrection, even for terminal illnesses, and with the assurance of forgiveness, even for violence against life (Hebrews 10:12). Let us confidently confess this hope in the face of crisis and panic, for the Holy Spirit Himself speaks new and eternal life in us (Mark 13:11)! Heavenly Defender, loose our tongues to declare Your purposes. Amen.
