I hope you are enjoying the results of God’s refreshing rain. My garden has never looked so good! The church gardens are so green. Each garden will produce an abundance of food!

Just as you invest in the lives of the children you teach, fruit will come. They will come to remember the things you say about the love of God and Jesus; and, they in turn will act on what they have learned about God and Jesus. You are preparing the foundation from which the children will build their understanding of God and Jesus. You are about important business.

TEACHING TIPS – Journey On Leadership site

I am in the process of putting teaching tips for each age group on this site. Soon they all will be completed. Then I will be continuing with teaching ideas for each age group. Please let me know some of your needs so I can begin to address them here.

I appreciate the prayers for teachers that Janet Waters is posting each week on the site. She always has a prayer that meets our needs.

ENLISTMENT

We are in the process of enlisting new teachers. Of course, this is an on-going task. I want to thank you for your service to the boys and girls you teach. If you know of anyone who would like to talk to us about serving, please let us know. We offer opportunities for them to learn how to teach the age group they prefer. Please let Sandra, your wing coordinator, or myself know and we will be glad to talk to them and answer any questions. Begin praying now for the enlistment campaign coming in July.

VBS

If you would like to serve in VBS, let us know!

QUESTION

Would you like to be part of a preschool teachers’ Life Group? If so, when would you prefer to meet– Sunday night, Wednesday night or another time? Let us know. Since you teach, you may not be part of an adult Bible study and we want to make sure you are connecting with others.

Have a great weekend and we will see you on Sunday!

Preschool Newsletter

A Preschool Teacher at Brentwood Baptist Church is a valued person and leader. Your task is an easy one:

• Love the children.
• Teach the children about God and Jesus.
• Accept the children as an entrusted gift.

You have the opportunity to work alongside parents to lay a foundation of spiritual development. What an awesome privilege and gift!

Many Sundays I see children running to their rooms ahead of their parents. They are looking for you! What a joy to watch you interact with the children, whether you are doing an activity, driving a Bye-Bye Buggy, or telling the Bible story. The children in your class are developing attitudes about being at church. You have the opportunity to help them feel loved and accepted. Thank you, Thank you.

VBS—Agency D3

It’s coming July 7–11. If you want to volunteer, sign up online now! Go to the church website and click on VBS. Be sure and register your children, too. Our 5s-Pre-K classes are filling up and we will have to stop registration for that age soon. 

Please pray for our leaders and teachers involved in VBS! They have started planning and preparing for this wonderful week of discovery.  Pray for a safe and fun week for the children as well as the leaders and teachers.

THIS SUNDAY—“Elisha Helped Naaman”

Our Bible story this week will give you an opportunity to talk about God’s love through healing. Even though this concept of healing is a hard one, you can help a child understand that Elisha was used to bring God’s healing to Naaman. The healing came with a simple instruction to wash in the Jordan River seven times. The Bible tells us that Naaman was highly respected by many people and was a great man in the sight of his master. God provided a servant girl to encourage him to go to Elisha. Naaman’s helpers/servants strongly encouraged him to do exactly what Elisha had asked. Naaman did, and he received healing. He went back to Elisha’s home to say thank you. Naaman said, “Now I know that God is the only God.

The story is truly a wonderful example of a changed man and his new understanding of God and His love. I pray that through this story you will be reminded of God’s great love for you and the grace He extends to you in so many ways.

Have a wonderful Sunday morning!
