Hello Friends! How was your week? I was so happy to see the sun shining the other day! I hope spring is coming and is deciding to stay around for awhile. I don’t mind the low temperatures, but I am ready to be outside without getting cold! Plus, with warmer temperatures, that means that the school year is coming to an end and summer vacation is just around the corner! Do you remember any of the stops that we have made so far? Yep, we stopped to see a rooster. The rooster......

Hello Friends! Did you have a good week? Did you hear any roosters this past week? I didn’t hear any, but I was able to hear a lot of birds out my kitchen window, even with all the rain. Hearing those birds, I am definitely ready for spring! Speaking of spring, I can’t believe that the next time we meet, it will be April–which means that we are getting closer to celebrating Easter. We are getting closer to completing our journey to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But before we get to......

Hello Friends! How are you doing today? Were any of you visited by a Leprechaun a few days ago? Let me tell you something…. When I woke up on St. Patrick’s Day, my cupboards were opened, the milk was green, the eggs were green, the box of Lucky Charms was spilled on the counter and all the marshmallows were gone, the water in the toilet was green, there was some gold in the cage of my bird, the pillows on the couch were missing, and there were little green footprints everywhere. I......

Hello Friends! It’s time to buckle up and start your engines….We are heading to our next stop! Do you remember where we went last week? We started out our journey be visiting the room where Jesus gathered with his disciples–with his friends. This room is called the Upper Room; and do yo know what happened there? That’s right! Jesus offered the Last Supper to his friends. Do you know what we call the Last Supper in our church? “Snack Time!” “Supper!” “The bread and juice!” These are all good guesses! We call......

Hello Friends! How are you today? Can you believe that March has arrived! You only have about three more months of school–March, April, and May–until summer vacation! (Unless you have to make up all those adventurous snow days, then you may have to go a little longer.) Now that March has arrived, we, as a church, are beginning our own adventure that will last about forty-days–which seems like a very long time. Do any of you know what holiday the church is celebrating now? No, it’s not St. Patrick’s Day. That’s right;......

Hello Friends, How are you doing today? Did you do anything fun and exciting since we last met? Since the last time we met, I have been thinking about something that I usually don’t think about. I was thinking about driving. Are any of you ready to drive? To go exploring on your own behind the steering wheel of your favorite car? What is your favorite car or dream car that you want to get when you get older? (a Lamborghini, Ferrari, a truck…) I have always wanted to get a Camaro......

Hello Friends! After today, we only have one more Sunday in February! Can you believe that? In just two weeks, as followers of Christ, we begin our journey towards Easter. Do you know what happens on Easter? Yes, you get to find eggs and eat candy, but there is something even better than eggs and candy that happens on Easter. Yes, Jesus raises from the dead: He is resurrected. When Jesus died on the cross our sins were forgiven. And when he rose, Jesus gave us a love that we could never......

Hello Friends, How are you doing today? With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, did any of you have a Valentine’s Day party at school last week or are you having a party tomorrow? I remember when I was your age, for every Valentine’s Day party at school that I attended I had to make a Valentine’s Day box. I usually used a shoebox and then decorated it with either stickers, colored paper, or just random drawings of hearts. If I remember correctly, one year my Valentine’s Day box was a pirate ship, another year......

Hello Friends! How are you today? I heard that you didn’t have school on Wednesday, Thursday, or on Friday because of the snow! Did you play in the snow on your snow-days? Did you build a snowman or go sledding or have a snowball fight or make any snow angels? I really wanted to build a snowman, but nobody was here to help me. Instead, I shoveled a lot of snow and helped out my neighbor. I still had fun, though! Do you know what today is? It’s not really a holiday......

Hello Friends! How are you doing today? Did you have a good week? Did you do anything fun? Today, we are going to talk about what happens when we follow instructions. Do any of you follow instructions? A better question is, do any of you like to follow instructions? I normally don’t like to follow instructions; but when it comes to certain things, following instructions is the only way to do things. So I have to share something with you….When I have some free time from paperwork and from keeping us all......
