Family Fun Weekly Message from Brenda Pielle
Dear Friends:
We are in daylight savings time and we might be saying “hurray” for longer days! This weekend we will have the first day of Spring. A new season is in the air with trees and flowers budding, more birds out and about, and the unpredictable changes in the weather that always accompany this time of transition. There is new life and new growth and this can be a time when we feel a new sense of energy and joy. Do you feel an extra “spring in your step” these days? I hope these changes are bringing a lift to your spirit.
On the parent tot video once again I have started with a song that goes like this: “Higgledie, piggledie, bumblebee, can you say your name for me?” I am pretending to listen for children to call out their names, and I am saying some more names of children who had attended the parent tot play group at our church when it was active before Covid. It might be fun for your child to hear her or his name said aloud on the video. This week the names are: Ava, Juno, Brianna, and Addisyn. Other songs include: “You are my Sunshine”; “Listen to the Water”; “The Whole World is in God’s Hands”, and the story is called, A Cuddle for Little Duck.
On the Family Fun video you will find these songs: “Like a Rock”; “This Land Needs Care from You and Me”; “Give me Oil in My Lamp”; and “Doe a Deer”. One story is read from the book Unlikely Friendships and it is about a lioness who takes care of a baby gazelle.
May these songs and stories provide you with some time to spend as a family singing along, listening, and capturing some quality time together. You will find them on our website at the following link: www.powellriverunitedchurch.org/family-fun
Sincerely,
Brenda Pielle
