The Good News Weekly Devotion by Jen Zappa, Director of Children’s Ministry & Preschool
Hello Church family,
Mayday! Mayday! We survived this month! Have you heard? May is the new December. The festivities kick off with teacher appreciation week and Mother’s Day, then the action ramps up with the banquets, band concerts, plays, award ceremonies, ball games, recitals, class parties, water days, field days, goodbye days, graduations, graduation parties, and a partridge in a pear tree. It’s physically and emotionally exhausting attending all the May things, but I wouldn’t want to miss any of it. The end of the school year is bittersweet. It’s sad to say goodbye to friends and teachers, but everyone is ready for summer!
First Kids has an action-packed schedule of events planned for your children that promises to be both fun and spiritually enriching. I love spending time with your children and want them to come to church! Below is an overview of our upcoming summer activities.
Preschool Camp ~ June 3-6 ~ 9 am to 12/noon.
Wonderfully Made Preschool camp is open to children aged 3 through rising kindergarteners. This is a great opportunity for the children to make new friends, play, and learn about Jesus!
