Hi, Friends!
We are so excited for our worship in the park tomorrow for those with kids! Please read on for all the details and important info for the morning.
An Important Word for Parents
Pastor Mary and I absolutely adore your kids and you. We have missed you terribly. Beyond terribly! And there is nothing we would rather do than hug you 'til you pop! But in this season, we as a church have committed to doing all we can to keep one another safe as much as possible. It feels like the most loving thing we can do right now, and in order to keep doing worship in the garage and fun events in the park, we have to maintain best practices for safety. That means we can't hug you, as much as we desperately wish we could. So, we are asking parents to have a good conversation with your kids before tomorrow so they know what to expect and are reassured how much we love them even though we can't run to embrace them. We have a few things we will do to make it fun and easy to greet one another, and we appreciate your help in keeping everyone safe.
Reminders and Details for the Morning:
Plan to arrive around 10:15AM to settle in and greet one another! We plan to start the service at 10:30AM, and the program will last about an hour.
When you arrive, enter the Union Street gate. We will be there to greet you and guide you to your family circle in the grass, where we encourage you to settle in and wave to your friends as we get ready to worship!
Remember to bring reusable bottles filled with water to stay hydrated! We are doing our best to care for creation and avoid lots of extra plastic bottles. We will, however, have snacks that have been safely packed for each family who would like one.
Please bring your parking ticket for validation.
Thanks for wearing your favorite masks! We'll have extra on hand if you forget yours.
Don't forget to bring a towel or blanket to sit on.
We hope you'll join us for this chance to worship and have fun together safely in our green space!
Sunday
Kid Video
This Sunday we won't have a kid video since we'll have live worship on Saturday! We are praying for a worshipful weekend for all.
Youth in the Park
Last week we had a really meaningful conversation with Ken Fong about race and biology and how it relates to racial justice. This week we are excited to invite our youth to gather with safe distance and masks in our church park! Plan to come during the drive-in church hour for a fun time together. Enter off Union Street around 10:15 or whenever your family arrives for worship in the garage. (And get excited because Chip will be leading our devotional time!)
JUST FOR FUN
October is here! Check out these fun DIY activities and experiments to get you in the mood for fall and Halloween (and sharpen those design and science skills while having fun).
Sending you so much love and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
