Hi, Friends!
We know kids and youth are getting ready to start a new school year remotely, and we are praying for all of our families who will be navigating the challenges that come with online learning. In lieu of a backpack blessing, we hope you are encouraged by our video this Sunday that leads kids through a blessing of their spaces at home. We have a new plan for kid ministry that we will launch in September, and we can't wait to share more in the coming weeks! Let us know if we can support you in any way we haven't thought of yet. We love you!
SINGING PROJECT
We are so excited to invite kids and youth to help us create an intergenerational choir piece! Parents, if you missed my email last week, you can head on over to this page for instructions on how to record your child singing for this special project. We are aiming to get submissions turned in this week before school starts up!
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
As kids will be inside on devices more with school starting up, you might want to have some tools to encourage them to enjoy the outdoors. This resource has some examples of outdoor activities to do in the fall, so see if there are any ideas you want to steal! This little outdoor activity tracker may be helpful, especially if your child likes to color and see progress on paper.
Sunday
DRIVE-IN CHURCH
Plan to come around 10:00 AM to settle into a spot and greet your friends! We will have snacks and activity sheets ready for kids and youth. Parents, if you can remind your kids to grab their favorite coloring/drawing utensils, that would be awesome. We hope to see you there if that works for your family, but no matter what, we are praying for you and sending so much love.
KID VIDEO
This Sunday we have a special video that will show you how to bless your home as you prepare to start the school year. We know you won't have backpacks that we can bless, but you do have special places in your home where we can pray to bless the areas where learning and growth will happen!
YOUTH ZOOM
Our regular middle and high school Zoom time will continue but going forward we will be meeting at 2PM to accommodate for those who are attending Drive-In Church. Here is the meeting link that you can use each week to hop on the hangout. We can't wait to hang out with our youth!
Sending you so much love and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
