Our beauty-full children!

Our resident children amaze me! This week’s theme for our Abba’s Angels program (infant through preschool) is “Beauty”. The children had their nails painted, special dress up including fancy hats, and a real tea party complete with china cups and saucers. Even the boys loved it. When asked what “beauty” means, they replied – almost in unison – “What’s inside makes me shine!”

Last week our King’s Kids (school-agers) attended a Vacation Bible School at Harmony Lutheran Church in Myersville. One of our 5 year-olds was excited to share her favorite Bible story of the week – Jesus feeding the 5,000 with two fish and five loaves of “garlic bread”. What imaginations! They enjoyed water fun in the front yard this morning and are wrapping up their study this week of the grasslands.

We had a surprise inspection of our two licensed children's programs this morning by the Office of Child Care (MD Dept. of Education) and we passed with flying colors!

Our Children’s Ministry is all about loving, embracing, and nurturing the beauty in each child and giving them (and their families) the opportunity to grow and develop to their full God-given potential. Until next week …
