Hi Friends,
Camp was such a blast this past week! We learned so much while having an awesome time together, and we had the best team of camp volunteers on the planet. We explored the idea that we were made for love—to both give and receive love well. As we dove into our daily themes, our campers were insightful about all kinds of concepts like being brave, wise, and generous as we serve and make others feel loved and safe. We shared Bible stories, played games, ate yummy snacks that tied to our themes, made gifts to give to local service partners, learned to sign a blessing, sang worship songs, and were visited by some super silly puppets. We even had a bounce house and water slide to end our week. Thanks to everyone who made it such a beautiful time of learning and playing together!
This Sunday we are worshipping in the garage for the last time before going back to the sanctuary, and we would love for families with kids to join us if they are able. It's also a communion Sunday, which is always a reminder of our call to gather and share the love of Christ with one another. We hope to see you there!
For the Animal Lovers
If your kid loves animals, then they might enjoy the free resources on this page. You can scroll down to find videos with veterinarians and experts on guide dogs along with fun printable activities. We thank God for all the imaginative creatures in creation!
Kids
Our nursery room is open this Sunday 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. If you're interested in helping with our nursery team, please let us know.
On August 8th we will welcome our entire church family back into the sanctuary! Stay tuned for more details about how the morning will flow for kids—we have some fun plans in the works . We hope you will also stay after worship for a big potluck in our park. We look forward to a special time of coming together in our beautiful sanctuary!
Youth
This Sunday the youth will have a chance to gather and also learn more about the opportunity to join our hospitality team. We will serve lunch and finish around 1:30PM as usual. We are so thankful that we have such awesome youth in our church family!
With love and gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
