Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe

What do we believe and what is the truth? You are beautiful and the Lord delights in you! You are made to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. God is love. Does God only love you when you are good? Does God love you when you sin? Your children know the answer to these questions. God is love and He died so that we could be loved and safe and protected. This is the truth. All thoughts should come from this basic understanding of the human person.

Jesus declared just how important and essential the truth is by describing it as the fundamental purpose of his saving mission: For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. (John 18:37). Jesus also taught, If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (Jn 8:31)

When we begin the day in morning prayer knowing that we are loved, it is so much easier to tell the truth. We are not perfect, we are flawed humans. We will break the rules and make mistakes, but seeing the truth about our sins helps us to grow closer to God. Take a deep breath. Tell us what happened and let’s ask God for His forgiveness and His help. The truth isn’t something to be afraid of. It is a way to know better and to do better. The truth is freedom!

God Bless,

It is getting cold out. We ask that all of the students bring hats and mittens or gloves. Once the snow starts, students will need snow boots and snow pants. We go outside several times per day as long as the wind chill is above 5 degrees.

This week down in preschool we have been working on the letter U, working on a couple more

commandments, singing our Christmas program songs, and learning all about the First

Thanksgiving shared between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. We made the Mayflower,

Pilgrims, and Native Americans to go along with this unit. Mrs. Lauren even led a fun turkey

craft for us.

Please remember that on Tuesday November 26th we are going to be having our annual

Thanksgiving Feast to end our unit on Thanksgiving. The feast will start roughly around 11:45

and go until 12:15 or so. Parents or grandparents are more than welcome to attend this event

as well. All we ask is that you please help with setting up, serving, or cleaning up. This is going

to be such a fun event that we look forward to every year.

Now that the weather is changing PLEASE make sure you are sending your child with a winter

coat everyday, NOT just a sweatshirt or zip up hoodie. Also, when it comes to gloves or mittens,

WARM THICK MITTENS ARE BEST. NOT gloves.

Please reach out if there are any questions!
