As Dependent As A Child

Think about children and how dependent they are. Babies and toddlers are so dependent that they need someone to feed them. Have you ever noticed how anxious they get when they need their hunger satisfied? You can try to distract a hungry toddler with activities or toys but nothing can really satisfy true hunger.

In 1 Peter chapter 2 we read that Peter urges us to have the same single-minded drive in satisfying our spiritual needs. But how often do we allow ourselves to be sidetracked? We can find a wide variety of ways to try and fill our needs or to eliminate problems, but our spiritual hunger continues. This can make us as cranky as a hungry child! Peter tells us that only the pure milk of the word can nourish the deepest needs of the human soul. Take time to be fed. Recognize the symptoms of your need and satisfy that hunger by digging into the Word of God!

As you do this you will notice that you are better able to parent your children, minister to those around you and you may even find a peace deep within your soul that you didn't feel was possible before. Try reading just 1 chapter of the Bible each day. We recommend you start with 1 Peter!

Promotion Sunday

Hey Preschool Parents!

If your child is in one of our 4 year old or Kindergarten classes NOW and will be promoting to the next level in August,  you need to stop by a Preschool desk, Sunday school classroom, or Kid’s church room & pick up a promotion card. It will take just a few minutes to fill it out and leave it with a director at one of the Preschool Ministry desks.

This will be so helpful to plan for promotion. It lets us know if: Your child is entering Kindergarten in August for the first time, promoting to first grade or if he or she will be staying with us one more year.   This is VERY important to ensure your child is in the correct class August 9^th Promotion Sunday.  We will have these available for the next 2 weeks, but please take care of this as soon as you can. Thanks SO MUCH!  See you Sunday!
