Dear Parents,
Let’s continue to be faithful as we “delve in 2012” and glean insights into God’s Word. I have been doing a personal study in Proverbs. I have made it to Chapter 5. Wow, what an amazing book this is. I would like to encourage you in reading Proverbs with your children. Here are a few nuggets from my study. Proverbs 2:8 NLT says, “He (The Lord) guards and protects the faithful.” I am so thankful to have faithful parents who love the Lord. Proverbs 2:9 NLT says to those who are faithful, “Then you will know how to find the right course of action every time.” Wow…let’s continue to be faithful as we “delve in 2012” and raise our children to love God’s Word.
In Jesus’ Strong Name,
Pastor V
Principal
