*Spiritual Message is Peace & Giving*

And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 7

Little Christmas Carolers

We are a band of carolers,
We march through frost and snow,
But care not for the weather
As on our way we go.

At every hall or cottage
That stands upon our way,
We stop to give the people
Best wishes for the day.

We pray a merry Christmas,
Made bright by Christmas cheer,
With peace, and hope, and gladness
And all they may hold dear.

And for all those that happen
To pass us on our way
We have a smile, and wish them
A merry Christmas-day.

Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Spiritual Message: Kindness

Scriptures Genesis 24:12,14,49

12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.



To The Preschool Board: Eileen Parks, Jan Miller, Bertha Nelson, Jerry Siegfried and Nancy Rubio for recognizing all the hard work that we, the staff, put in to the preschool to make it a successful business. We have always taken pride in providing excellent care for all the children who enroll in our preschool. We recognize that it takes a team of great people to create success. We have remained open for 12 years partly due to the support of our board members. We thank you, for your great leadership.

Spiritual Message: Honesty

While your honesty level is a reflection of your character, it is also a way to show your faith. In the Bible, God made honesty one of his commandments. Since God cannot lie, He sets the example for all of His people. It is God's desire that we follow that example in all that we do.

The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.
Psalm 119:160

A Valentine for Jesus
By Ms. Tricia

What will you say to Jesus
On this special Valentine’s Day?
You can tell Him that you love Him,
And will follow Him everyday.
How can you show that you need Him,
If it’s not visible on your face?
You can read the Bible,
And thank Him for his sacrifice,
Love and grace.
The best Valentines you can give Him,
Is the promise of never being apart.
You can give Him what He wants the most,
He’ll gladly except your heart.
