Hey, Friends!
We had a blast with our families last Saturday and loved learning about the kind of treasure we can keep in our hearts—like love, compassion, and generosity. We are so grateful for the treasures that each of you are in our lives and in our church family! Our next Family Liturgy will be March 20th, so be on the lookout for a new fun postcard and more details.
We hope you received our online Ash Wednesday liturgy yesterday, but if not, you can always go back and access it when you have a chance. One of our FBCP kids asked to do it with his parents and found it to be really meaningful, so you might consider adapting the interactive prayer experiences in the liturgy for your kids, too. We also hope you are able to use the family Lenten devotion we delivered in ways that are fun and impactful with your family. Blessings as we move through Lent together with you!
Virtual Parent Discussion
Sunday, February 28, at 7:30pm we are hosting a time for parents to get together and discuss their parenting journeys with Iris Chen. For those who have read her new book (you can find it here or we can send you a copy!), this is a chance to ask questions and share anything that has resonated with you. If you haven't had a chance to read it but still want to join us, we would love to have you. Iris will begin by talking about some of the main lessons she has learned in parenting, and then we'll have time for questions and discussion. We’ll send a Zoom link next week so you can join. We love our parent community and look forward to gathering together for a time to connect and learn!
Mars
NASA’s newest Mars rover, Perseverance, touched down on the Red Planet today! NASA is inviting everyone to be a part of history by holding live streams and replays you can watch here. This huge step for human space exploration is a great opportunity to inspire your kids to learn more about space. The folks at KiwiCo collected some of out-of-this-world DIY activities to help you transport your kids to the cosmos right from home.
Kids
This week we have a new kind of video for our kids—story time! Join us as Pastor Mary reads "A Sick Day for Amos McGee.” You can curl up to watch before bedtime or listen when you need a break during your day. Anytime is a good time for a story, especially one as sweet as this!
Youth
This week the youth will be in the park, but we will gather later than usual so that youth and their families can attend our morning worship and memorial service in the garage if they want. Youth can head to the park around 11:45AM, and we will wrap up by 1:15PM. We can't wait to spend time with our youth safely in the park! Lunch will be included.
Sending you so much love and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
