Build

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 

-1 Thessalonians 5:9

Just as we are learning to use our hands to build blocks up, we are also learning to use our words and actions to build one another up, just as God has called us to do! 

Afternoon Class Harvest Party!

I am the room mother in my daughter's kindergarten classroom, so I had the privilege of organizing her Harvest Party. Although I really enjoyed being with her for her party, I was disappointed that I had to miss the afternoon class's party. I heard they did a lot of fun things. A very special thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped Mrs. U in my absence.

Here's a picture of what I was up to at the kindergarten party! 

I was able to snap a few quick pictures of the preschool class during our all school parade!

 Happy Harvest!
