1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil. 23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

Our new Transitional Intermediate Preschool classroom, the Periwinkles, officially started today. Everyone was excited to see Ms. Ana back in her own classroom, along with Ms. Satya. This program was developed to meet the needs of learners who do not meet the birthdate cut off to participate in the Intermediate Preschool program, but turn 3 between October and March, are potty trained, and demonstrating mastery of the Beginning Preschool curriculum.

These are good illness reminders. See our parent handbook at www.openarms-ccdc.org for health procedures. Let's keep Open Arms students and teachers healthy!

Pastor and Sally Mann, thank you for the gift of love that has transformed us. God’s Blessings to you!

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy.” Philippians 1:3-4

We have some exciting news to share with you!
Effective January 1, 2020 our After School-Age program will have new tuition rates!

The new tuition rate will be $88.00/weekly!

This will still include everything you expect from our program: dedicated homework time, afternoon snack, Bible time, individual learning centers, as well as outdoor play.
We recognized a need in the community for competitive rates and wanted to make sure our families received the news first-hand.

We’d love to have our parents share this wonderful information with their friends and other families that might want to take advantage of making a change for their children in the new year.

We will be running a Referral Credit promotion through January 31st for all current families: once a new family is enrolled for 90 days, both families will receive $200 tuition credit.

Contact [email protected] with any questions!

One of our favorite reasons for the season is to look at and display all of our OA families' Christmas cards at our front entrance. We hope you will join others and add to our wall soon.

Christmas has arrived at Open Arms!

Our Savior's Way Lutheran Church

Pastor Mann will be retiring in January 2020, just a few months away. Our Savior’s Way would like to give Pastor Mann a gift that is just as big as his impact has been on us! As a congregation, we are going to handwrite a complete copy of the Bible and present it to him. This is a large project and we will only succeed if we all work together!
