IN THIS ISSUE

FROM THE PASTOR...
Church 
It is the middle of convention season.   All over the country in convention centers people are gathering to celebrate the things they love.   While there are a whole host of small, local conventions, some of these gatherings are truly massive.  The San Diego Comic Con, for instance, has an attendance of 130,000.  For over a decade I have regularly attended my own large convention:  Gen Con in Indianapolis.   Gen Con is this month, and I will be joining 60,000 or so people for the best four days in gaming. To read more  CLICK HERE .

LITTLE LIGHTS PRESCHOOL

And here it is... the start of a new school year.  Many wonderful children have passed through our doors.  I am looking forward to the 2019-20 school year.  It will start on Monday, August 12 for the 4/5 year-old M/W/F classes.  Classes will start for the 3 year-old T/TH classes on Tuesday, August 13.

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!
