Hi, Friends!
We can't believe that Compassion Camp is winding down, but we are thankful that our pursuit of compassion never ends. If you've had your Week 3 Campsite open but haven't refreshed your browser lately, then give it a refresh for a few updated items. We will continue to explore compassion as a church because that's what Jesus was all about. A huge thanks to all of our church family who helped us experience compassion the last three weeks!
Compassion Camp Friday Zoom Movie Party
You're invited to join us for a Zoom Movie Party and closing camp session! This week's camp Zoom will be on Friday from 6:00-8:30 PM. We will hang out, watch a short movie, and wrap up our camping adventure! Click here for the zoom link.
Children and Youth Choir Project
Keep an eye out for a separate email with information about an intergenerational virtual choir project with kids, youth, and our adult choir. It's going to be a really beautiful and fun experience. We hope your kids will join!
New Wonders
VACCINES EXPLAINED FOR KIDS
If your child is wondering what a vaccine is and why it takes so long (or if your child just loves science and exploring new things), then you might enjoy listening to Vox's short podcast episode that explains how vaccines work in a really fun immersive listening experience. It also has an episode discussion guide for kids who want to delve deeper into the science behind experiments and vaccines. I can tell you honestly that I learned a lot!
SPARK JOY AND WHOA
Kiwi has some ideas for ways you can spark joy with some experimenting at home before school starts up. Check out these different options—I especially like the candy one and the Sports Science page!
