This last week, the Olsen family marked another milestone … Drew started preschool. We are not sure who was more excited about shopping for school supplies, mom (Angie) or Drew. Drew was excited about getting a new backpack and Angie was excited about new crayons. Tuesday morning with backpack full of cool new stuff, we took a picture of our little man for posterity. Looking at him, he seemed so big and so little all at the same time. When we went to see him in his class, he was sitting so politely and looking studious. Weird and wonderful?! He was all smiles when we picked him up and when we asked how the day was he said, “School was pretty fun.” This is high praise from a 4-year-old: kudos to Sunbeams Preschool!!
There was so much excitement and newness this last week and also a realization of how quickly time passes. It made us wonder why we lose this exuberance for learning and meeting new people as we get older. On September 8th, we are kicking off all our new classes at Platte Woods United Methodist Church for the fall. We are hoping you can recapture some of the enthusiasm for meeting new people and learning something more about the God who loves you extravagantly. It is not too late to sign up for studies!
We are both teaching classes this fall and are really looking forward to growing deeper in our faith. Curtis is teaching Starting Point, which is a conversational environment where you can explore faith and experience community. This is a safe place for people with questions about faith, as well as those who want to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Angie is teaching a class called Hope for Humanity/Hope for Creation. This study explores the Bible’s instruction on how to live a sustainable life caring for the earth and our neighbors. As a former environmental engineer this is an exciting class to facilitate.
Are you excited to go back to school also? We sure hope so and Angie says bring new crayons if this makes you happy!!!
