He Is Risen, Just As He Said!

We are so thankful to be able to celebrate this special time with our Sonshine Family. During Holy Week in March, we had an Easter event affectionately called the Journey of Jesus. This event saw many families and FPC members volunteer to host different learning stations for our students. Stations were set up throughout the church and B.O.B. as groups of children rotated through. Each group walked through stories, crafts, games, and activities, all telling about the life of Jesus, starting with His miraculous birth and ending with His glorious resurrection!

My heart is so full thinking about these tender little hearts learning and growing in faith. I'm so thankful we have the precious opportunity to love, encourage, and minister to such young minds.

Looking back, March was actually a pretty full month for us! Over the second weekend, six of our preschool staff attended a two-day state conference for early childhood education. This was a very rewarding time for us as we were able to experience and grow in professional development, feel energized and encouraged, and foster a deeper love and connection for one another as coworkers and friends. What a gift this conference was for us!

We also "celebrated" Pi Day on 3.14 with a unique fundraiser that helps support our Scholarship Fund and resulted in some kiddos getting to pie me in the face! Apparently, it was very entertaining for children, staff, and families!!  

Then, during the last week of March, we had our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences. I always love the time the families and staff get to spend together, strengthening relationships and discussing the children's progress and goals. We certainly have some pretty great folks in our community.

I'm so glad God has brought each and every one of these people through our doors. These rooms and halls are full of such love and joy. We welcome you all to join us in praising our Lord for His great faithfulness, guidance, and care. I continue to be so honored and blessed for how He has called me to serve here at Sonshine Patch. And again, I thank you, our beloved church family, for all of your love, prayers, and support!

In all things, may we give Him all the glory.
