         PRESCHOOL and 4K
                Ministry and Education

Happy Mother's Day Hope Lutheran women.        The     Nice examples of our children learning to share.
Preschool and 4K send you prayers and love.
The Preschool has been busy teaching kids academics
and about Jesus. Our very own Deacon Bob has been
coming to our classroom to share the Good News with
your little ones at Hope's school.
Other highlights are that
the warm weather has
given us more time in
nature. Where? That is
easy, our very own
Nature Classroom, filled
with plants peaking out
of the ground and
insects starting to crawl.
New this summer is a
preschool class that is
dedicated to teaching The Creation. We will have 7
weeks to share the 7 days that God made the world.
Children ages 3-6 will learn Genesis 1 and get a
hands-on experience of what was “very good”.
Classes will be on designated Mondays and
Wednesdays from 9:00-11:30 a.m.
                                                                               Beth Kettner – Director

 This will be an excellent outreach opportunity for                            preschool@lifeathope.org
 the congregation. Please share. Information about
 tuition and flyers are available in the narthex.
