Parent’s Corner- September 5, 2021

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to and end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.  “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”  Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV

We’re BAAAAAAAAAACK! 

When I was growing up, there was a buzz of excitement around the start of each new school year.  We picked out new folders, sharpened new pencils, and admired the colored crayons lined up perfectly straight in their bright yellow striped box.  When I was teaching, I decorated my classroom and bulletin boards, organized curriculum, and looked forward to meeting my new students.  While we would not have wished to be in this position in our own wisdom, we have the opportunity to start “over” in Sunday school after a break of nearly 18 months.  I can say with confidence that our Sunday school teachers are so excited to prepare lessons again, and we are equally excited to have your kiddos in Grace Kids Ministries again!

Parent’s Corner is the place to look each week to find out the answer to the popular question. . . what did you do in Sunday school today?  It will also contain suggestions of passages to read and conversations to have with your kids during the week.  

Blessings on your day, my friends!  It’s good to be back!
