Happy New Year!

It's January, and a brand new year, in Critter Street! Happy 2013! This month our bottom line is "I can talk to Jesus." Our goal this month is that our preschoolers would know that in any situation they can talk to Jesus. That they can tell Him when they need help, when they are scared, and when they are thankful. There is always time to talk to Jesus. Below you'll find the monthly parent cues, just click on the image for a closer look!
