Christ Church Episcopal Preschool educates young children, creates community among school, families, and church, and honors and nurtures children in the Episcopal tradition. We welcome children aged two to five in small classes where all are affirmed as children of God and are inspired and encouraged to become their best selves—socially, emotionally, academically and spiritually.

Sharing Your "Glimmers”

Denise Gilliam

The hustle and bustle of this time of year while exhilarating, can also feel exhausting. Just like you, I am longing for some quiet rest and time with my family which is coming soon. Advent reminds us to be patient with the special gift of Jesus and the love that he shares with us.

For me, patience is directly linked with reflection and acknowledgment of everyday blessings, also called “Glimmers”. Glimmers are anything that sparks a sense of joy, awe, or belonging. It can be noticing something beautiful around you or seeing a kind face. Glimmers remind us that we are safe and connected with others. I am surrounded by Glimmers each day at CCEP, a few are:

  • Seeing our teachers embrace and nurture the uniqueness of each child, especially when they have BIG feelings.

  • Greeting our children and families each morning. The children's enthusiasm for school reminds me that each day gives us unexpected adventures.

  • Learning something new and remembering that there is much more to learn.

  • The joyful laughter that radiates from the playgrounds and our classrooms.

  • The generosity and dedication of our community through gifts of time, love, understanding, and resources.

I pray that you have a blessed and restful weekend with an abundance of Glimmers!

 Faithfully,

 Sheila
