News from the Preschool
“The clouds went boom; the lightening went zap; and the waves went swish!” These were the words I heard a 4-year-old preschooler telling his grandma in the school lobby as he was showing her the felt board Pastor uses during chapel time. Of course, he was describing when Jesus walked on water and calmed the sea when his disciples were afraid.
“Jesus came alive on Easter, and that’s really why we celebrate Easter” said Christian, a student in our PreK class. Dax added: “Jesus died, but don’t worry, he’s alive again”. As they were leaving Kids Praise, these two students could not wait to “tell me something”. We may think we have to simplify stories in the Bible for children because they really don’t understand anyway … this could not be further from the truth. I watch and listen to our students every day as they re-tell lessons both Pastor and I have taught. Sometimes facts are out of order, or they add their own “creative” ideas, but they are indeed sharing the gospel in their own way.
What an amazing concept to think that these preschoolers can “outreach” to their friends and family...but they can, and with so much love and enthusiasm. We should all take notice and never be afraid to act like children and share the word of God.
Featured above are a quick look at some of the activities and events we’ve had over the last few months.
