It isn’t often that work and faith intersect. Fortunately for our Learning Center, we have cultivated a place where Christ is the cornerstone. However, on Sunday, we intersected in a different kind of way. We each took time from our respective home churches to be…together. We got the opportunity to sing songs, both new and old, with one another. We went to the altar and covered each other in prayer. We listened to and digested a strong message
“There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart” – Celia Thaxter “There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart” – Celia Thaxter Summer is one of our favorite times of the year and what an awesome Summer we’ve had here at the Learning Center. This summer season zoomed by us so fast, it’s sort of making our heads spin, but we’re very grateful for the fun we’ve all had! Aloha, Summer to you! In
“La verdadera adoración es abrirse a Dios, adorarlo, esperarlo y confiar en él incluso en la oscuridad”. – N. T. Wright Amamos a los niños de este centro. En medio de los cambios de pañales, los derrames accidentales (y a veces intencionados) y todo lo demás, ¡los amamos! Tenemos la oportunidad diaria de expresar el amor de Dios a los corazones de estos pequeños y de ser un ejemplo del Reino para ellos. Cada interacción con
La perseverancia es increíblemente importante… No es un proceso fácil. Requiere que tengamos la habilidad de ver más allá de nuestras circunstancias actuales, ya sean favorables o desfavorables, y aferrarnos a esta esperanza de que hay algo mejor al otro lado de donde estamos. Uno de los mejores rasgos de carácter que una persona puede tener es la perseverancia. Perseverar significa mostrar un esfuerzo continuo para hacer o lograr algo a pesar de las dificultades, el fracaso o la oposición. Aquí
We often read and hear about how God is a miracle-working God. We often hear the stories of others who have experienced God move amazingly on their behalf in the most wild & unexpected ways. These things are wonderful and they encourage our Christian faith so much… Yet and still, there’s nothing quite like experiencing a miracle for yourself. Nothing really compares to seeing God DO something for you that is next to (or actually fits the bill
FREEDOM IS A WONDERFUL CONCEPT For many of us, we don’t think about the liberties we have until those very liberties are taken away. A good example of what I mean are the face masks we’re all wearing right now. We’ve agreed to adhere to the requests made to us by our city and county government. There’s definitely been some pushback, though, with this whole thing. I’ve noticed it with adults in my community who I don’t personally know,
“His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. His ruling authority will grow, and there’ll be no limits to the wholeness he brings.” Isaiah 9:7 of The Message Bible I felt my heart weep when I saw the clip of George Floyd pressed to the ground by police as he uttered the words, “I can’t breathe.” If you don’t know who George Floyd is, a simple Google search would pull up the incident.
CAMBIANDO NUESTRA FORMA DE OPERAR La pandemia nos ha enfocado en buscar continuamente maneras de mejorar. La salud y seguridad de nuestros niños, padres y personal nos ha impulsado a invertir en un nuevo sistema de kiosco para tomar la temperatura. El sistema está diseñado para automatizar el proceso de detección de salud, cada vez que una persona entra y sale de nuestro edificio. Esto significa que para los bebés de hasta 5 años de edad, cada niño será evaluado dos veces (cuando
Hope is better than coffee, and I love coffee! Coffee can get our bodies going for 30 minutes or more at a time. Hope goes much further than coffee’s impact on the body, by fueling our mind and soul with a wonderful powerful energy! We see hope often in the young. For example, when a young girl decides to work in the medical field after watching her dad get sick and spend long days in the hospital. That girl’s hope propels
The letter below went out to Parents/Guardians/Staff on March 31, 2020 Dear Family, By the Grace of God, we are here to serve children and their families in this difficult time. Our plans are to assist Governor Ducey and the state of Arizona by caring for the children of our first responders and essential business workers. Many things have been taken from us during this pandemic (our entertainment, health, sports, income, and for some life); furthermore, the Coronavirus is changing everyday
