Kinder Place finally has a portable EZ-Up shade canopy. A permanent structure would not comply with city ordinance. Also purchased with the proceeds from the Spring St. Paul's Fish Dinner are the following: a new play table and four chairs for the toddler room, four sport bean bag chairs for the two-year-old's reading/relaxing corner, a four-station easel, dress-up storage unit, child couch, a deluxe set of wooden blocks, and a play space station for the four-year-olds. A few additional items are still to be ordered. Thank you again to all the people who contributed and worked on the fish dinner!

 

A special thank you to St. Paul's Ladies Aid for purchasing two new emergency evacuation cribs for our infant room.

 

Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Thurow and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nicholson for donations in memory of loved ones.

 

Many families, too numerous to name, have so generously donated books, games, toys, extra containers and costumes to Kinder Place. Your generosity is appreciated.

Hello from Kinder Place!

 

We have had quite a few changes at the center since the new school year started last month. Everyone is finally getting settled in their new classrooms. A special thank you goes out to our Kinder Place children and families, our teaching staff, board members, the day school staff and students, office personnel, our pastors, custodians, kitchen staff and the entire congregation for their support. Without all of your, Kinder Place would not be here today. Because of our Lord, we are truly blessed.

 

I am amazed each and every day as I watch our Kinder Place children "at work and play." Singing and learning about Jesus is being introduced to our infants on a daily basis. The toddlers say the loudest "A-men" at the end of their lunch prayer. The two-year-olds love the "ABC" meal prayer and repeat any Bible story that they ahve learned the past week. The threes and fours have been overheard baptizing their baby dolls and giving a sermon to their friends quite often. One little three-year-old turned the Children's Bible around so that all her friends could see the pictures from the story she was "reading."

 

Oh, yes . . . we work on ABC's and 1, 2, 3's, but God's teachings overflow with abundance at Kinder Place. The children will make many discoveries and develop a sense of themselves as a child of God.

 

I am truly grateful for this opportunity to serve the Lord through his little ones.

 

God's Blessings,
