Hi, Friends!
We are continuing to monitor the fires and to pray for all those in our church family who live near the mountains. If that's you, remember to let us know if we can assist you in any way. The air is bad everywhere, so we are praying for safety this weekend and for those who do not have a safe home where they can stay. We will keep you posted as we assess whether or not we feel it's safe to host Drive-In Church this Sunday. If not, we will send out a liturgy Sunday morning.
Liturgy for Families with Kids (in the park)!
Parents, we know that Drive-In Church has been a tough option for some of our younger kids, and we are definitely missing our usual Sunday School hour. So, we are so excited to announce a safe chance to gather, worship God, and see our friends (and their cute masks!). On Saturday, September 19 at 10:30 AM, we are inviting families with kids to join us for a fun worship event in the church park area. We will have spots for families to hang out while staying a safe distance apart on the grass area, and we invite you to bring blankets or chairs. There will be kid-friendly worship with singing, a Bible story, and some creative activities. We hope you'll join us for this chance to worship and have fun together safely in our green space! (Of course, date is subject to change based on weather and air quality.)
Brain Breaks
Being restricted to the indoors due to bad air quality is only adding one more layer of challenge for those of you with kids. Our trusted source Kiwi Co. has some great ideas and resources for taking a brain break and having some fun (and these can be done in the house!).
Sunday
Kid Video
You may have noticed that we did not have a video last week, and that was due to some internet outages every time we tried to film. The internet seems to be cooperating, and the plan this Sunday is to have a quick Bible story and some information about our upcoming Liturgy for Families with Kids. Join us for a little story and information time!
Youth Zoom
This week we are on for our Youth Zoom at 2PM. 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
