As a faith community we are often called upon to lift others up in prayer. We are proud to be a Christian preschool in more than just name only. Our staff routinely prays for each other, ever mindful of the Lord's work we are blessed to do. Please be assured that as a staff we routinely pray for all of the families in our classes, in our school, in our lives, too! We do so willingly and fervently, for all.

If, however, there is ever a time when you feel overwhelmed or even overjoyed by what is happening in your life, please share that with us so that we may include you directly into our intentions. It is a privilege to feel that you trust us to add our words to God on your behalf. May He keep all us in His care.

From the book, "Parent on Purpose", by Amy Carney......We've already established how we need more playful moments in our lives, so let's reframe time spent around our family dinner table as a form of healthy play. "The magic that happens over family dinners isn't the food on the table, but the conversations around it." Research links regular family dinners too better academic performance, higher self- esteem, and a greater sense of resilience as well as lower rates of substance abuse teen pregnancy and depression.

Weekly Prayer: Dear Jesus, we pray for skilled surgeons hands as two of our precious children anticipate surgery. We trust in You to guide them. Watch over the families and bring them strength and a feeling of peace knowing that You are with them. Restore their good health and happy smiles and return the smiles to the faces of those who love them and the ones we care so much about.

In Your holy name, Amen
