Greetings, Cherub Families!
2012 has started off marvelously for Cherub Choir and we've gained three new members. We are so happy to see 16 shining cherubs each week.
So far this year, Cherubs have learned about Epiphany, the Wise Men and their gifts and sang "We Three Kings." Then Miss Carol taught about Jesus as a young man and the Cherubs learned "The Twelve Disciples," reviewed the "Books of the New Testament" and learned the new song, "A Little Boy in Galilee."
Last week we began talking about love (keeping in tune with upcoming Valentine's Day) and Jesus' teaching of the First and Greatest Commandment in the Book of Mark, which the Cherubs recognized as the second book in their song.
Carrying forward with this theme, the Cherubs will sing in church for the introit on Sunday, Feb. 5. Miss Carol will be working at the Christian Education program at the church where she is employed that day, so Mrs. Garletts will lead the Cherubs. Please have your Cherub in the chapel by 10 a.m. to put on robes. After they sing, Cherubs come to the side door where Mrs. Garletts and Miss Anna will take their robes, then Cherubs return to their parents.
Since they're learning about love, Cherubs will sing the traditional "Jesus Loves Me" along with signing using American Sign Language. They will also sing (in keeping with the second Greatest Commandment) "Love Your Neighbor As Yourself."
There will be no Wednesday Plus on Feb. 22 due to it being Ash Wednesday. There is a church service that evening at 7:30 with child care provided.
We've said it before, but it bears repeating -- We are thankful that you think (as we do) that it is essential for your children to learn about God's love and wisdom for daily living enough to schedule the time to bring them to Wednesday Plus each week. We try our best in our teaching them about God in ways that will help them to grow up knowledgeable about God and His ways. God bless you and your family as 2012 continues to unfold.
In God's Grace - Miss Carol, Miss Emily, Mrs. Garletts and Miss Anna
