Preschool (2yrs-PreK) This weekend your preschooler will continue to learn that “Jesus Can Do ANTYTHING!” This week’s story is from Mark 6:30-44, the well-known story of the loaves and fish.

Parent Connection – fpStudents

A New Year. A New Job. A New You.
It’s that time of year when hope is high. The changing of the calendar brings a sense of newness. Anything is possible again. Unfortunately, despair has a way of finding us. Even the top CEOs are feeling it creep up on them. Thankfully, the next breakfast hosted by KnoxWorx is just around the corner. We’ll [...]
OUTLOOK-WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK? Part I
As we look towards this year have you stopped and asked yourself, “What is my outlook for this year?” When we look at what the definition of the word “outlook” is there are several definitions I want to expose. These are as follows; 1) a mental attitude or point of view 2) the probable or [...]
Growing Your Family Spiritually
This post was written by Brandi Magee, fpKids interim Preschool Coordinator It’s just after breakfast, and my two young sons are playing together when they beginning fighting over a toy…hands start hitting and voices are raised… Be kind and loving to each other. Ephesians 4:32 My older son is lying awake in bed and calls [...]
It’s Good!
In the story of Genesis, we see God making the earth, over a course of days, and after each day he proclaims what he had made “good”. Why “good” though? Surely the almighty Creator can do better than “good.” Why not “great” or “perfect” or “wicked awesome?” As I thought about this, I realized something. [...]

How To Be A Nosey Parent
As a mom, the well-being of my kids is always on my mind. And daily circumstances remind me of this priority. When my 6 year old wants to play with the older kids in the cul-de-sac. When my 9 year old wants to sleep at a friend’s house. When my 12 year old wants the [...]
New Year Question

Most families would say that they want/need to make some changes/improvements. Where the rubber meets the road is after determining what changes we [...]
Caution: Watch Out For Ordinary
