Promotion Sunday Reminder

"Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine."

Don't forget--Promotion Sunday is August 31st! Watch for posted information to help everyone enjoy new classes, new teachers, and new chances to grow in knowing and loving God.

Promotion Sunday

Mark your calendars! August 31st is Promotion Sunday. That's the day all children from 2 years old through 3rd grade move up into new classes for this school year. Children who are 2 as of October 1 will start in the 2 year old class, room 212. Each class after that will move to the next age group/room. Watch for posted information to answer questions about which class your student moves into on the 31st.

Attention, Dads of Daughters

Fathers of daughters have an important role in the way their girls think about themselves and the world. The website http://www.dadsanddaughters.org has lots of information about this special relationship. It is not a website written from a Christian or even a spiritual perspective, but there is some good insight just the same. The Dad’s Quiz provides a good way to check some important parts of your relationship with your daughter, there are some articles for dads who don’t live with their daughters full time, and there is even a section for daughters who want to get closer to their dads. Without the influence of the truth of God’s Word there are some definite gaps in the advice, but it is a good reminder just the same to look carefully at the relationship between father and daughter.

New Ways to Get Them Talking

If your family is like most, it is hard to come up with different ways to talk around the dinner table. This idea (found at this web link) may help. Have each family member bring a small object that's important to them to the dinner table. It can be a toy, a picture, anything. Place all the objects as a centerpiece (to keep little guys from playing with them during dinner!) and let everyone take a turn sharing why they chose what they chose.
