Hi, Friends!
We are praying that you are able to stay cool and safe as we prepare for a heat wave. Please note that we will not have Drive-In Church tomorrow due to the heat. The Liturgy for the Living Room will be sent out by email and text in the morning. We will miss you but hope you can worship from somewhere comfortable.
Speaking of all the heat, it's a good weekend to slow down, rest, and stay hydrated if you can put work aside. Here are some cold dinner recipes to inspire you and keep your ovens off. Read on for more updates and fun resources to help you thrive at home.
Families with Kids are invited!
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 and activities for families to do together. We hope you'll join us for this chance to worship and have fun together safely in our green space!
Ideas for Sabbath
With fall here and the continued stress of the pandemic, school, and working from home, it's easy to forget to prioritize rest. This post has some simple ideas and reminders about ways to keep sabbath or rhythms of rest for both adults and kids.
Mindfulness Cards
Here are some printable cards to help guide kids through mindfulness practices. You could pull these out if it's been a tough day or if your younger one needs a minute to decompress. And, of course, you can always add a prayer time or practice of gratitude to God to any of these cards!
SUNDAY
Kid Video
This Sunday we are going to have a quick Bible story and some information about our upcoming worship event for families with kids. Tune in 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! Parents of youth, be on the lookout for some upcoming youth group happenings.
Sending you so much love and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
