Hi, Friends!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Yesterday and today I've had the privilege of being at a virtual summit for a Fuller youth ministry cohort we are part of. It's been a really engaging time to think about our youth and cast new vision for our ministry going forward. Our youth leadership team (Grant, Grace, Tasha, and Chip!) continue to be such a gift to our community, and we were honored to have Naomi be our youth representative. We appreciate your prayers for our youth and all they have to bring to our church family!
If you loved our Liturgy for Families with Kids, then stay tuned for our next one! We will send out the next date and details so you can mark your calendars. We can’t wait to worship in the park again with you!
Halloween Updated Plan
We had hoped to use our park space for a gathering on Halloween, but due to the Pasadena Public Health Department's restrictions, we have to shift our original plan. We know that is a disappointment (for us, too), but we are determined to make the most of the day and the opportunity to connect with our families with kids! So, here's the plan: Pastor Mary and I, along with some special friends, will be making our way to your homes in costumes with treats and love and big smiles and air hugs. We would love to see your kids as we do this reverse trick-or-treating (definitely heavy on the treat!) and bring a little Halloween joy to your door. If your child would like to be in costume, too, that’s even better! If it's okay for us to make a Halloween visit, please click the button below so we can coordinate a spooktacular driving route.
Watercolor Leaf Rubbing
Most of us have done leaf rubbings to make art using the intricate designs in creation, but this post shows a new twist on turning leaves into watercolor masterpieces. Grab a white crayon and some watercolors, and watch the leaves come to life on paper. (And for a fun word on why and how leaves change colors and what we can learn from it, check out SALT's Theology of Color.)
Sunday
Kids
This week we are going to talk about manna and the way God chooses to provide for Moses and the Israelites. Join Izzy and Mo as they continue on the journey after leaving Egypt! (Oh, and we may have a related tasty surprise for anyone able to come to Outdoor Church tomorrow.)
Youth
We are on for another Zoom gathering this week at 2PM. Here is the meeting link that you can use to hop on the hangout. We can't wait to spend time with our youth!
More Youth in the Park
Our outdoor youth gathering went so well a couple of weeks ago, and we are excited for more chances to meet safely outdoors! Youth, mark your calendars for October 25, November 8, and November 22. More details to follow.
Sending you so much ❤️and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
