Grandparents Day Preview: Little Voices, Big Gratitude

Host Mike Runey opens this episode announcing Grandparents Day and celebrates the close of the first quarter. He takes viewers on a tour of PCA students who share their special names for grandparents and the simple joys they enjoy together — from card games and mac and cheese to mowing lawns and attending hockey games. Children express thanks for grandparents’ love, care, support, and presence, and mention health, travel, volunteering, and spending time together as reasons for gratitude. The interviews highlight authentic, everyday stories that show how faith and family are passed between generations. Mike reflects on the school’s core value of compassionate community, cites Psalm 145:4 about one generation commending God’s works to another, and invites grandparents to campus for Friday’s celebration. The episode closes with a prayer of gratitude and blessing for grandparents and families, and an encouragement for continued compassion and grace in the community.
