Through A Child's Eyes A Newsletter For St. James' Church School February 1999

February is the month for groundhogs, valentines, and presidents' birthdays. IT's also the time to think about preparing our hearts for Easter. Spring's not too far away. May we all take time to share a smile with a neighbor, a hug with a child, and a prayer for someone in need. Let us prepare ourselves... everyday.

	Christmas Pageant Thanks to our co-directors of the Christmas Pagent. There is nothing like seeing children reenact the story of Jesus' birth. It gets you everytime. Thanks to all the teachers who helped with the preparation and the children and young people who help us each year to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
	Valentine's Day Tea Each year, the Church School hosts the coffee hour, the Sunday before Valentines's Day. This year, our Valentine's Day Tea happens to fall RIGHT on Valentine's Day. So look for beautiful decorations in the parish hall on Sunday, February 14, as the the Church School decorates with handmade works of art. Church school students will also provide the treats! Happy Valentine's Day!
