May 2015 Newsletter

Dear Joyful Noise Families,                                        May 2015

Well, we made it all the way through the “Alphabet” with our Bible stories from Adam to Zacchaeus and everything in between! 

We will complete the month of May with reviews of our favorite stories and finish the month with a lesson on prayer. 

Looking ahead as warmer weather approaches many more outdoor activities and field trips are being planned by our teachers. The three and four year old classes will meet only occasionally for Growing in Grace throughout the summer months as their schedules permit. Our nursery students, toddlers and the two’s class will continue to meet weekly as their schedules allow.

We have had a wonderful year and I’m grateful for the privilege to have been able to share God’s Word with our students at Joyful Noise. To witness their eagerness and excitement when learning about Jesus and helping them grow in their faith is a real blessing for me.

Peace be with you all,

Ms. Bev

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   2^nd Peter 3:18

April 2015 Newsletter

 

Dear Joyful Noise Families,                                                

In Growing in Grace this month we are completing some stories we were unable to get too in March due to scheduling conflicts and spring break. 

We will continue with the final few letters of the alphabet along with doing some special Easter Bible stories and activities.

Easter points us to new beginnings and as we continue through the remaining weeks, our Bible stories will focus on Jesus' return to heaven, his church on earth and our lives in service to others. 

Our students have shown an eagerness, interest, and excitement in the Bible stories they hear in Chapel each week. They continue to respond and participate with great enthusiasm!  It is such a genuine pleasure to be able to share God’s Word with them through stories, songs and craft activities.

Spring is in the air and April showers will be bringing May flowers.    

Our world is opening also to the wonder of new life and new beginnings.  In these ever busy times that we find ourselves; take time to smell the flowers!

He is risen.  He is risen indeed!

Shalom,

Ms. Bev

November 2014 Newsletter

Dear Joyful Noise Families,

WOW! I can hardly believe we are going to be heading into November and looking toward Christmas and the end of the year.

 The alphabet Bible stories have been going very well. The children are beginning to recognize when the alphabet letters match their name, or that of a friend.  We’ve had some exciting Bible stories which have included lions, fishermen and even a fiery chariot! 

We ended October with The Pumpkin Parable and the” Pumpkin Prayer.”     The children learn how the farmer cleans out the yucky inside of a pumpkin before carving; God cleans out our “Yucky Stuff” and makes us new inside and out! So we can let our lights shine like the candle in the pumpkin.

 On Thursday Oct.30 the four year class came to for a special outdoor chapel time and pumpkin treasure hunt through the woods. We enjoyed apple cider, and donuts. Then the children had time to run around play, make a craft, and find a pumpkin in the yard we were thankful for the great morning we were able to enjoy together.

God’s peace,         

   

Ms. Bev
