FROM THE PASTOR...
Church 
For several weeks now my study and preaching focus has been on fulfilling the "Great Commandment" of Jesus which is recorded in the first three Gospels.  Here Christ followers are commanded to love God with their whole being and to love others as they love themselves. To read more  CLICK HERE .

LITTLE LIGHTS PRESCHOOL

It doesn't seem possible that I started Little Lights Preschool 25 years ago.  Many wonderful children have passed through our doors.  I am looking forward to the 2018-19 school year.  It will start on Monday, August 13 for the 4/5 year-old M/W/F classes.  Classes will start for the 3 year-old T/TH classes on Tuesday, August 14.

We are looking forward to a great school
year with plenty of learning activities and experiences.  Our day includes Play Time, Calendar Time, Bible Story  Time, Learning Time, Puzzle Time, Snack Time, &  Story Time.  The students take turns bringing in snacks  and being the leader.  As the leader they get to "paint" at the easel, call the students to line up to use the bathroom,  say the prayers, pass out napkins, etc. They LOVE to be the  leader.

I am really looking forward to greeting all of my new students  and returning students!  I know this is going to be a year
filled with new experiences that God has in store for us!
