Director's Message

God’s son is born for us (Isaiah 9:6)

Dear Parents,

Welcome to December! December always seems to take me by surprise, and this year is no exception. Everyone starts rushing around trying to get everything bought, wrapped, cooked, baked, mailed, or cleaned. Whew! We have tons of places to go and lots of people to see. It’s exciting but it can also be exhausting. In all the “hurrying-up” and “doing,” please remember to stop and take time for yourself and for your children. My days of having an infant and preschooler seem like they went by in the blink of an eye. Remember that your little ones will not remain little for long, and take time to enjoy the wonder and joy they express at this time of year. It is so much fun to see their eyes light up whenever they talk about all the things they are experiencing and learning. And of course, please remember to teach your children the reason we celebrate Christmas – Hallelujah for Him!

I hope to see you all at our Christmas Chapel and Reception on Thursday, December 15th at 9:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary. All friends and family of preschoolers are encouraged to attend. The children will return to their classrooms for the day while the parents enjoy wonderful refreshments provided by our parent volunteers! Friday, Dec. 16 will be our last day of school before the break. Our first day back in 2012 (oh my!) will be Thursday, January 5th.

I would also like to invite you to attend one of the church services on Christmas Eve at Covenant. From 5:00-5:30pm, there is a short service for families with preschool-aged children. This is perfect for the little ones who are still wiggly! From 6:30pm-7:30pm, there is a special service for families with elementary-aged children. Please refer to this newsletter for additional listings of both contemporary and traditional offerings, including candlelight services with communion.

As always, thank you for sharing your children with us. I pray that December and your holidays are filled with peace and joy.

God’s blessings,

Christy O. Milam
