"Sip & See" Preschool Tours
Please join us to "sip" some java and "see" our precious preschool! We will gather in the preschool galleria, visit with teachers, tour classrooms, and learn more about our program. Special tours of our Pre-K program are also available. This event is for new and returning families. We hope some returning families will join us to help greet and orient new families considering Weekday Preschool for the first time. Please forward this newsletter to your friends and welcome them to join us. We are taking RSVPs but they are not required. Please join us if you can.
Weekday Preschool is a ministry of Athens First United Methodist Church. We offer a Christ-centered, half-day program for children ages 9 months through 4 years old.

Chapel with Mrs. Linsey: Fruit of the Spirit
In January, we will talk about the Fruit of the Spirit in chapel. From Galations 5:22, Paul explains these amazing gifts from God we have already recieved:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. "
We can use these gifts to do God's will everyday! Chapel will be a time we talk about missions--helping others with our gifts. To help children connect, we will be encouraging donations to help AFUMC's Souper Supper program which provides meals and supplies throughout the winter and spring months. Your child's teacher will be in touch with an item for the "store" that we hope your child will be able to bring in and contribute to those in need. Weekday Preschool families are encouraged to visit the church's webpage on Souper Suppers (link below) for more information on how to participate as a family.
