Kim Compton, Preschool Director Kids Place News Kid s Place is off to a great start! Our kids are acting as movie stars with our curriculum The Bible: Lights, Camera, Action while we learn all about the major roles in the Bible, from the creation, to Egypt, to the tomb. We are finding all about who the star of the show really is! Our memory verse is, Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105). We are continuing to have fun with our classes, Bible studies, and our recently added Mission Days. So far we have made cards and cookies for the police officers and firefighters of Sherman and designed place mats with some words of encouragement and faith for the Chili Cook Off. We have many more projects planned to help the kids at Kid s Place give back and learn how to serve just like Jesus did. Continued prayers are always welcome!, Director Camp Sonshine News It may be cold outside, but plans for Camp Sonshine 2018 are underway! Our theme this year is Bugs. Many people may be scared of bugs, or find them gross, but they are part of God s creation. We will use them to teach the campers that it s the little things that can make a big difference! Our verse this summer is The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1). Stay tuned for more information! Registration is set for previous camp families will be Tuesday, March 20 from 6:30-7:30 in the fellowship hall. We will call waitlisted families with any openings left.
