Wednesday, June 26, 2013 The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net . St. Matthew’s celebrates 40 years of preschool EE im) ¥ » : Sy 4 SN Kevin Walker, Nathaniel Knotts. BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com St. Matthew’s Preschool had a very spe- cial graduation and end-of-year celebration last Thursday evening. This year marks the preschool’s 40th year in operation. St. Matthews Preschool was the first pre- school in the Kings Mountain area, and the only one that has operated continuously for 40 years. It is the only state certified pre- school in the area. The preschool was created for the chil- dren as an outreach ministry. All of the tu- ition money goes back into the school — the church doesn’t receive any money from the preschool. In the welcoming address, Judy Wilson stressed that over 1000 students have at- tended St. Matthew’s, and have gone on to become teachers, business operators, health care professionals, community leaders and Three year-old class — Caroline Suber, A'Niyah Brooks, Karsyn Criswell, Christian Smith, Page 3C ES £ 2 < Photos by LINDSAY SUBER and BETH BROCK parents. : Wilson recognized “Sis” Bridges who has been with the preschool since its beginning in 1973. Also recognized were former students of the preschool many of whom now have chil- dren attending St. Matthew’s Preschool. Also attending the program were board members, former board members, and for- mer teachers. : The students presented a program “Let’s go to the Hop” followed by the presentation of diplomas to the graduating class, and cer- tificates to the three year-olds. All the girls wore poodle skirts made by Mrs. Sheila Led- ford, and the boys had on white t-shirts with the sleeves rolled up, and jeans rolled up. They sang several old “hop” songs and danced to the songs. After the program, refreshments were served on the lawn.

Children attend VBS as a community BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com Four Kings Mountain churches—Resur- rection Lutheran, St. Matthew’s Lutheran, Central United Methodist, and First Presby- _terian— hosted a community Vacation Bible School June 17-20 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Res- urrection Lutheran Church. . This year’s theme was “Athens: Paul’s Dangerous Journey to Share the Truth.” Children stepped back in time to Athens, Greece, exploring the Apostle Paul’s adven- tures. Kids and adults participated in a mem- orable Bible-times Marketplace, sang fun songs, played teamwork-building games, dug into Bible-times snacks, worked together in an oikos (family) and created a frieze to remind them of God’s Word. A big difference this year was that the children were not divided into age groups, but rather divided into “families” (oikos) of all ages, each with their own “home.” Chil- dren age three through fifth grade partici- pated in the family activities, including eating on cushions on the floor of their home. Everyone looked for evidence of God around them through God Sightings. Each day concluded at Celebration - a time of up- beat worship that got everyone involved. “Family” members listen attentively as Paul (Doyle Campbell) teaches them about Christ.
