Dear CCP Families,
Hard to believe that we are already half way through November! Very soon the holidays will be here. Sometimes I have to take a breath because time goes faster than I would like!
PAC - We meet at 9:15am on Monday 11/18 in Ascension Hall. We will be voting on next year’s budget. Please be sure you have read over it, asked all your questions, and are ready to vote.
WINDOW - Hopefully our broken window will be reaplced on Monday, 11/18. It has been postponed a time or two. We are trying to be patient!
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM - Be sure to mark your calendar for Wed, Dec 18 at 9:30 in the sanctuary! This program of songs will be our Christmas gift to all our families. Please join us even if you usually attend on T/Th.
WISHING WELL - We know the holidays can be a fun, but stressful time of year! Remember to BREATHE and WISH WELL anytime the world does not go your way. Here's a good reminder from Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline (p.210)...."At every moment you have a choice between approaching the world with a spirit of love and learning or one of fear and punishing. That choice is yours."
When you make that positive choice, you can quietly share this gift of breath and well wishes to impact your little corner of the world. Amy Speidel, a Loving Guidance Associate reminds us, "When you see another parent struggling with an out-of control child, along with being thankful it wasn't your turn, wish that parent and child well. They will find their way. And trust that the same well wishing will grace you when it is your turn." (Remember a wish well is not merely a thought, but a positive field of energy and love that you send out with a deep breath and a softened face.) Be gentle with one another! Sometimes at preschool if a friend is having a hard time, the whole class will pause, breathe, and send that person love. You see, when a little one is upset, she is unable to breathe deeply. So, for that moment, her friends breathe for her. It’s just one more way that we form a loving community of support. And this is why I sign my emails…
I am wishing you well,
Debbie
