💕 February Parents Night Recap 💕

Our Love Birds Parents’ Date Night was full of fun and sweet reminders of God’s love! ❤️ We learned 1 John 4:7 and talked about how we can show love to others every day.

The kids had a blast decorating heart-shaped cookies and creating adorable love bird crafts from Valentine’s doilies. They also enjoyed pizza, a fun movie, and some energetic scooter board relays! 🛴

It was a night full of laughter, friendship, and learning to love like Jesus. 💕

✨ December Parents Night Recap ✨

What a special evening we had in December! Our kids went on a Journey to Jesus, following clues to discover characters from the Christmas story, leading them all the way to baby Jesus at the end. ✨

They had so much fun creating cross crafts, showing off their tacky Christmas outfits 🎄, and enjoying some delicious pizza with friends! 🍕

It was a night full of laughter, creativity, and meaningful moments as we celebrated the true reason for the season. ❤️

We are excited about our up coming PNO event on Dec. 12th!

✨ Let’s GLOW Party at Parents Night Out! ✨
We had a blast shining bright with our scavenger hunt, glow bowling, target games, face painting, and a dance party that lit up the night!
Kids made glowing lantern crafts and learned how to let their light shine for Jesus!

We can’t wait for our next PNO event in December! Details coming soon!

Bible Story:
Today we learned how God protects and provides! Just like Paul survived a snake bite and helped others, we can trust God to take care of us and use us to bless others.

Activity:

Field Trip Fun:
We splashed, played, and made memories at Covington Rec Splash Pad 💦 and Burger King Playground 🍔 — and topped it all off with yummy Oreo sundaes! 🍨

Another amazing day on our island adventure! 🏝️
