From The Pastor..


One of the things I link the season of Fall with is hospitality. From the beginning to the end, a common theme of fall is being thankful for what we have and to be ready to share in the bounty. The days are getting shorter and the nights a little bit longer and the smell of pumpkin spice fills the air everywhere we go. And we prepare ourselves for the first of those fall festival days ... Halloween.

LITTLE LIGHTS PRESCHOOL


With Fall starting we've been talking about how the weather changes with the seasons. Believe it or not our preschoolers can't wait for it to snow! Hopefully we won't have to worry about that for a while.


Halloween is on the minds of all the children. They have already started deciding what costumes that they'll be wearing to our party.


They will be doing activities on the colors purple, black and orange and on Halloween.


Our Bible stories will be about Joseph. Our preschoolers will learn that God wants us to get along with others.


There will be no preschool Oct. 14-18 during Fall Break!


Mrs. Vorm
