It's that time of year again. Our kids are heading back to school. Some of them are even just beginning that particular journey in life as they march off to preschool and kindergarten.
Here at First Presbyterian, we're excited about another year of Sunday school, just days away! Rally Day is Sunday, September 12. Immediately after the worship service, our children will head off to their classrooms with their teachers, and as adults we'll have a short "info-mercial" about some adult education opportunities for the fall. Then, we'll all enjoy a bite to eat in the dining room, thanks to Deborah Circle!
Thinking about learning and the school year ahead, here's a quote to ponder...
"We teach children how to measure, how to weigh. We fail to teach them how to revere, how to sense wonder and awe. The sense of the sublime, the sign of the inward greatness of the human soul and something which is potentially given to all, is now a rare gift." - Abraham Joshua Heschel
In an age that can be anxiously obsessed with certainties, may our educational ministry with children and youth (and with ourselves!) gift our lives with reverie, awe, and wonder.
