A Day at Parkway by Maddie Akin

We have a wonderful Children's Minister, Mrs. Rebecca. We have fun activities throughout the year. On Sundays we have a children's sermon with Mrs. Rebecca. We talk about how God loves us, how Jesus died for our sins, and much more! We have two Sunday School teachers, Mrs. Paula and Mr. Bob. They teach us crafts and we learn about God.

Children in grades K-5 can present the Bible to Dr. King, our pastor. In the middle of the adult sermon, children in Kindergarten thru 1st Grade can go upstairs and learn some more about God.

We have a wonderful music teacher, Mrs. Susan. She teaches us songs about God on Wednesday. This is optional for all ages. We have different musicals to participate in. We are working now on Heroes of the Faith, a wonderful fun-filled musical. On Wednesday we have dinner served for families. After dinner and music we have missions to teach us about missionaries around the world that are sharing God's love with others.

Be sure to check out Parkway!

A gift of art.

During the month of January, our Kindergarten through 2nd Grade Sunday School class studied church helpers. As one of their activities, Mr. Bob asked the children to draw pictures of specific church helpers from Parkway.

Marie Loden, a 2nd Grader, drew this picture of me. What impressed me the most was that she even drew in the right eye color! When Mr. Bob gave this to me, he said that he thought she also captured my spirit:-)

I just love this! Thank you Marie! You are so talented. I can't wait to hang this up in my office.

Maybe I will start decorating my office with the artwork of Parkway kids, like this.
