Love your neighbor as you love yourself

We spend a lot of time in missions talking about people all over the world. We talk about ways that we can show God's love to them. A few weeks ago, the preschool missions class colored puzzles with a picture of the world and this verse:
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself." Mark 12:33

Harris, Owen, and Truman hard at work.

We are so happy that Ella has joined our class!

Reason #586 to be a Children's Minister - Cute Christmas Cards!

I finally got around to taking these off the fridge and scanning them. I have absolutely LOVED getting these in the mail for the past 3 years, and thought I would share this year's batch with you:) The ones at the end are from our friends and family outside of Parkway.
