News from the Preschool
Meet Augie. Augie is a student in our Small Steps class and is 2 years old. As you can see, Augie is full of smiles and personality….and loves to sing!
During our Kids Praise time, we exercise, sing and dance. Some of the songs are silly and some are the classic songs we all learned in Sunday School. Kids Praise always ends with “Jesus Loves Me” and the Lords Prayer.
Deaconess Joanna has been a wonderful addition to our Chapel/Kids Praise time this year. When we sing “Jesus Loves Me”, she plays her guitar and the kids sing along. At first, the kids were so completely mesmerized with her guitar that they totally forgot to sing. But eventually they couldn’t wait for her the play so they could sing along.
Augie’s mom sent me this picture. She said that Augie wanted to play a song for her on his “guitar”. She said he belted out “Jesus Loves Me”, and wanted to play the guitar like Mrs. Joanna does at Kids Praise.
Have you ever wondered about the mission of our school? Is it to fill the pews, build bridges between the church and school, share and spread the love of Christ Jesus to all who enter? Absolutely! But that all takes time, especially the first two. But, first and foremost, our job is to plant the seed and nurture it while these little children are here. Our mission IS these little children, and by the grace of God, hopefully the seed that we planted will mature through the word, and stay with them through the rest of their lives. Hopefully little Augie will remember this song, and share it with others as he grows, and remember his Chapel and Kids Praise as a time of worship and prayer. God Bless you Augie!
