This year, we will consider the Kingdom of God through four parables: The Lost Coin, The Treasure Field, The Prodigal Son, and The Lost Sheep. We'll learn that we're all looking for treasure, sometimes in the wrong place, but when we find the love of God, it's worth everything! We will sing and play and create joyful memories together. Please make sure to register if your child is going to participate. Knowing numbers ahead of time helps us prepare. 😊
