Hello Parents--

This is the update for the next two weeks. Happy Spring Break!

Reminder: Set your clocks forward one hour on Saturday night to mark the beginning of Daylight Savings Time!

WNA MP Kids this week will hear from Randa Pirrong who is a National Board Certified Educator and teaches Consumer Science Emerson High School. She is also a member of St. Luke's and has been a leader in our ministry to the students at Emerson and in our Knitting Group!
Next week, MP Kids will meet in Pyramid Pics to enjoy a movie and popcorn while filling Easter Eggs with candy for the Egg Hunt!

WNA Glow Kids continue their study of the virtue, PATIENCE. They will be learning a cool game using bubbles! Book of the month is "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss. Bible stories are: The fall of  Jericho (Joshua 3:1-14, 6:1-25) and the Israelites have to wait on God's timing (Numbers 14:39-44).
Next week, Glow Kids make bookmarks to continue the lesson about PATIENCE. Remember to water your seeds!

Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday April 3, 11:00 to 1:00 at Edgemere Park. Bring your basket to hunt 4,000 eggs!! Hot dogs, chips and drinks provided. You are invited to bring something sweet to share. Don't forget your picnic blanket or chairs. The Easter Bunny will be on hand to celebrate with us! Check it out on Facebook!
