1  May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us,
2  that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
3  Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!

Psalm 67:1-3

Preschool Update

STILL ON BABY BIRD WATCH, WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED!

We have a pair of birds that have built their nest in the preschool yard.  We think they are Black Phoebes.  There are now five eggs in the nest and the parents spend much of the day fluttering around the preschool yard keeping them safe.  The children are thrilled of course and full of anticipation. 

To give a donation via the Preschool’s Amazon Wish List, please click https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2KIFUH7B16OPX, or the blue button:
