"Back to School" time creates a lot of BIG EMOTIONS, which often includes anxiety. If a child you love (or even yourself) have experienced some anxiety in the past week, this is a fantastic podcast to give you very practical tips and tools on how to help those around you feel brave and confident in spite of the anxious thoughts that come with uncertainty. Give it listen, and share your thoughts below!

As the new school year approaches, Sissy Goff and David Thomas help parents understand why transitions can bring big feelings, physical symptoms, and anxious thoughts for both kids and adults.

Hey FBCO families!
We are so excited that this week is Promotion Sunday in KidsLife!

Please check your kids in as usual at the parent kiosks. Then take a look at their class assignment. If something looks wrong, please check at the Preschool and Elementary welcome desks, depending on your child's age.

New This Year/Reminders:
- Older Siblings must be in 6th grade AND have the security tag to pick up younger siblings.
- We ask that all kids finish their breakfast AND drinks before entering the classrooms. Donuts and specialty drinks are super fun, but they need to be done before entering class or the KLC.

DO HARD THINGS
Our church-wide study also starts this week. Kids ages 3yrs and up will receive a fun gift to go along with the start of our study.

Invite someone to come wth you this week - See you Sunday!
