What a great month we’ve had at preschool. We were very busy learning about the first Christmas. All
the classes visited with Pastor Kent and he told them about that special night that Jesus was born. Acting
out the very first Christmas was a big highlight for the children and families. Thank you to all who attended.
Thank you to all the generous families who donated items to help preschool! Thank you for the teachers’ gifts, too.

Registration for our 2018-2019 school year is open to everyone. If you know someone who needs information, have them stop by our office or call us at 396-3125 or visit: www.noahsarkcr.org.

In January the 4-year-olds will begin their testing. These tests are designed to be fun and playful and non-stressful. Testing will help the teachers give an accurate report card for parents so they may decide if Kindergarten or Alternative-Kindergarten is best for their child. It also helps parents identify some areas they may wish to work on with their child.

Thank you for supporting Noah’s Ark Preschool. We feel very blessed to be doing something that we love and sharing God’s Word.

In Christ,
~ Leslie
Director of Noah’s Ark Preschool

A new set of Cross Training classes begin Sunday, Jan. 7. Classes meet at 9:45 in between services. Register online or in the Gathering Space on Sunday mornings.

CLASS 1: Love Walked Among Us 

We claim to follow Jesus, but do we really understand what he was like as a person?  Jesus displayed a love unlike any the world has ever seen.  Compassionate, honest, powerful and sacrificial—love walking among us.  In this course, we’ll get to know Jesus better by observing his life and love as they unfold in the Gospels.  We’ll discover how to love someone when you get no love in return; how to love without being used by another person; how Jesus moves us from shame to forgiveness; and how Jesus’ unlimited grace changes the world. Register now.

CLASS 2: Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University 

THE SMARTER WAY TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY: It’s not fun living paycheck to paycheck. Enjoy your money without owing it so someone else.
SAVE FOR THE FUTURE: Get proactive! Build and emergency fund and invest with confidence.
MAKE A GREAT TEAM: Create a helpful budget that works for you AND your spouse. Learn to plan, save and grow together.

You will need to purchase an FPU kit for class if you don’t already have one. The church has purchased ten kits at a discounted price of $77.50.  This is a reduced price from the standard price of $109.  Scholarships are available for any wanting to participate but need financial assistance.  When signing up for the class, please indicate if you need a kit. Register now.

CLASS 3: Believe

Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Believe is a unique spiritual growth experience that takes you on a journey to think, act, and more more like Jesus.  This class walks you through the ten key Beliefs of the Christian Faith, the ten key practices of a Jesus-follower, and the ten key Virtues that characterize someone who is becoming more like Jesus. Every believer needs to ask these three questions: WHAT DO I BELIEVE? WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHO AM I BECOMING? Each class uses short topical biblical passages to help you live the story of the Bible. As you continue your journey, one simple truth will become undeniably clear: what you believe drives everything. Register now.
