Preschool

We Believe in the Power of Play!

Research on young children’s learning and development proves how play strongly benefits a child’s intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language development.

Children at play are actively involved in creating themes, exploring and establishing environments, solving problems, and developing shared understandings. Through play, young children learn to see other’s points of view, to use language in new ways, to interact with others, and to develop their muscles and coordination.

Parents of Teens

Parenting can be one of life’s greatest gifts, and it also comes with challenges.  If you are currently a parent of a teen, you may wish to receive periodic articles, resources, and prayers from our Pastoral Care team. To sign up, simply email Meredith Onion.

A Prayer for Parents 

Gracious God, we need your help. We admit we can’t do this parenting thing on our own. We need You. They need You. Help me be selfless, patient, and kind. Help me to treat my children the way I like to be treated. Help me to be fair, yet tenderhearted. Help me to be consistent, yet full of peace and joy. Give me insight into the heart of each of my children. Help me to navigate their hearts as an explorer, not a judge. Give me Your love to convey to them. Help me say my love and live my love and demonstrate my love in a way that my kids actually hear it. Amen.
