Weekly Notes to the Congregation
“Loving Neighbors Preschool” Initiative Is Underway…
Mission Background:
NLCC is excited about this new preschool initiative that seeks “missional living” which is based upon two biblical principles: “the Greatest Commandment” and “the Great Commission.” Jesus teaches us the Great Commandment, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it; You should love your neighbor as yourself” in Matthew 22:37-39. Jesus also teaches us the “Great Commission” to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you” in Matthew 28:19-20. According to these principles, Northern Lakes Community Church (NLCC) has been paying attention and discerning the needs of our local community. The need for quality childcare is the need we feel now called to respond to. “Loving Neighbors Preschool” will create a setting where children, parents, teachers and volunteers will be cared for and nurtured in a spiritually, physically, and emotionally healthy way. All parties will be encouraged to experience together and live out God’s love in our local community and beyond.
