Hi Friends,
We had a blast with our kids in the park last Sunday, and it was just so good to see our young ones playing together. Our next Sunday with kids programming in the park will be July 18th, but we also hope you will join us for all-church worship in the park on July 4th. We'll have a fun worship service with songs that our kids know, and there will be lunch!
This Saturday we are pumped for our June Liturgy for Families with Kids, and we hope to see you at 10:30AM in the park. Just bring a blanket or towel to sit on—we will be ready with songs, activities, and snacks. Please RSVP here if you plan to attend. Though we will welcome anyone who shows up on Saturday, the RSVP just helps us plan for supplies. See you Saturday!
Helping Kids Transition
I came across this resource and thought it was worth sharing as parents prepare to help our kids transition to more social interactions. After over a year of pandemic life, our kids have a lot to navigate in returning to various situations. There is a range of emotions that might come up, some our kids may not even anticipate. If this is something you find useful, great! If this isn't your style, that's okay, too. I am praying for all of our kids and parents as we continue into summer and look ahead to the fall. We are here to walk with you!
Kids
Our nursery rooms are now open regularly for babies and toddlers under four years old! Childcare will be open from 10:15am until the end of garage worship. We hope this allows our youngest children to have a safe place to play and connect with each other and our loving nursery staff, Tasha Cronin and Engry Lopez. Parents can enter the building through the Union Street park gate. Please note that the nursery will be closed on the first Sunday of July so that everyone can join us in the park for worship.
Our kids four years old and up are still welcome to join us in the garage for worship, and we have snacks and coloring supplies ready for them. We look forward to a beautiful morning of worship this Sunday!
Youth
This week the youth will be gathering in the park for their regular time of lunch and fellowship after worship. Please note that this week we have some fun water activities for them, so they should consider bringing a towel and shoes that can get wet (and maybe a change of clothes, though we always have extra shirts on hand!).
The youth are also invited to join us in the garage and to help with Pit Crew. You can email Pastor Chip to get them plugged in with the blue apron crew. We look forward to our time with our awesome youth!
With love and gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
