Preschool News - February 18, 2011

Preschool registration is well under-way and several of our classes, both in Mother's Day Out and in the Preschool are filled. There are openings in both the summer and for the 2011-2012 school year.

As always, we are looking for good substitutes! Call me at the school office (988-3962) if you would like information about our school or about substituting.

Grace and peace,

Midweek Reminders from Covenant - February 18, 2011

Are You enjoying this beautiful weather God has given us?

Isn't it something to watch the unfolding of history being made in Egypt and other parts of the Mid Eastern World. Freedom has been placed in our hearts by God, and we should pray that what unfolds in those countries will be God Directed and God Lead.

Today
Be in prayer for our Covenant Preschool and Mother's day Out Program as we open up for registration for our summer and fall terms. People were already lining up before 6:30am. We have such a great program, and we should thank God for the staff He has lead our way, as well as the students we have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. Registration continues through tomorrow, but if you know of anyone considering the school, you best call and tell them to contact the school today.

Tonight
5:00 - Handbell practice
5:30 - Wednesday Night Supper, fellowship hall
6:20 - Holy Communion and Prayer, followed by Our Study in the Book of James (chapter 4), tonight the theme is Humility

Some of our women will be "retreating" this weekend. Our prayer is for the Lord to ignite their hearts.

Sunday
Our worship services this week will focus on John 15:1-6, I AM the Vine.
3:00 - Board of Trustees
4:00 - Church Council - but all are invited to attend as we continue our conversation about the future of our church. We are more then a building and we want to discuss where the Lord may be Leading us to Do His Will. Come with one or two concerns or dreams or wishes for our church as we brainstorm and seek God's direction.

Sincerely,
Chris Blanchard

Preschool News - January 1, 2011

The 2010‐2011 school year is on the down‐hill slope! We are planning and looking forward to a new school year. Registration for the Summer Session and for the 2011‐2012 school year for church members whose children are not currently enrolled will be February 6‐15. There will be a table set up in the Narthex on Sunday, February 6 and Sunday, February 13. You may also register by stopping by the school office, room 7. Please note, that if we do not have your registration by 2 PM on February 15, you will fall under the “open enrollment” registration, which begins at 8:30 AM on February 16. We are excited about the opportunities to continue the excellence put forth by our teachers and staff. For additional information, please call me or Amy Rizzuto, Assistant Director, at 988‐3962.

We are also looking to expand our substitute list for Mother’s Day Out and Preschool. In order to qualify, you must answer the following questions affirmatively: Do you enjoy inquisitive, active, imaginative children? Can you read a story book or color an art sheet? Do you like to give big hugs to little people? Can you follow a schedule? The big bottom line is if you love children, you’ll make the perfect substitute! Because we are a Class B facility licensed by the state, we do require a background check, which is done on the computer in my office. Just give me a call!

Grace and peace,
