As I write, Gavin and I are packing up for the youth retreat this weekend. We are so pumped for some extra time up in the mountains to encounter God and explore what it means to seek first the Kingdom! Will you join us in praying for our middle and high school youth, for safe travel and rich conversations with God and one another? Thank you!
Nursery - Elementary
This Sunday our kids will learn about the Lord's Prayer, which is so fun! We can't wait for them to learn more about the way Jesus taught us to pray, what the prayer reveals about God, and how to make this prayer their own.
Family Discussion Starters:
What parts of the Lord's Prayer stand out most to you?
What are some things you pray about most often?
How does the Lord's Prayer expand your understanding of prayer?
Prayer: Lord, help us to come to you in prayer honestly and often just as Jesus did.
Children's Choir
Children's Choir continues this week! They are learning songs for worship leadership in February and on Palm Sunday. I will send out more information soon with links to videos for practice. In the meantime, ask your child to sing the song they are learning about cloaks and branches!
Youth
This week we will not have our usual youth programming since most youth are up at our winter retreat. We will be back on for regular programming next Sunday as we prepare tamales to sell at our annual fundraiser!
For Good Measure
Tamales for Sale!
What’s the highlight of Superbowl Sunday? Tamales! Our youth will be making tamales for the Big Game and they will be extra delicious this year! We are excited to join aprons with Cynthia and some local friends to make the tamales, and proceeds will support funding for our youth to attend biannual retreats. Talk about a community effort! You may order and purchase your tamales in advance by using this link before January 24th, or you can purchase some immediately following the worship service on February 2. Tamales are $3.50 each or $30 for a dozen, and you can choose between chicken, pork and beef, or cheese with chiles. If you do not wish to purchase tamales, you may still make a donation toward Youth Retreat Scholarships by check or cash during our offering time in worship service.
Have a blessed weekend!
