"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above..." — James 1:17 ☀️🏃‍♀️

We believe the playground is a place of praise! After a day of focused classroom work, our students head outdoors to enjoy our new playground. But we aren't just burning off energy—we’re growing together!

Joy in Creation: Taking a moment to breathe in the fresh air and thank God for the sunshine and our health! 🌳🙌

Playgrounds are a bridge to belonging. When children play together, they build the confidence and social skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

📖 Teaching your kids to read the Bible doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! It’s not about getting through a whole chapter every day—it’s about building a lifelong habit.

If you want to move past just reading "stories" and help your kids actually navigate the physical Bible, here are 3 simple shifts to try this week:

1️⃣ Teach it like a library, not a novel. Open to the Table of Contents together. Show them that the Bible is a collection of 66 different books with different styles—history, poetry, letters, and biographies!

2️⃣ Master the "Big vs. Little" numbers. Explain that the big numbers are the chapters (the rooms) and the tiny numbers are the verses (the furniture inside the room). Practice looking up biblical "addresses" like a fun scavenger hunt.

3️⃣ Start in the Gospels. Instead of starting on page one of Genesis, flip to Mark or John. Reading about the life of Jesus is the perfect, action-packed entry point for young readers.

Keep it short (3-5 verses is plenty for beginners!), ask them what the text tells us about God, and let them see you reading your own Bible, too.
