Hi Friends,
As we prepare for a service for Joel today at 1 pm in the sanctuary, I'm grateful for the ways our community continues to hold grief and walk together in times of both sorrow and joy. If you are able, I hope you can join us as we remember this dearly loved and special member of our congregation. There will be a fellowship meal in the gym immediately following the service. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and love for John, Nathaniel, and Leonidas. May we be a place where they feel held and sense God's deep love.
SUNDAY
KIDS
Our nursery room is open this Sunday for babies and toddlers four years old and under. Childcare will be open starting at 8:55 AM for those whose parents are attending a Sunday School class.
Our kids five to ten years old will join their families in the sanctuary for worship. We love their presence in our sanctuary and the chance to be together to share in communion this Sunday. You might want to have some discussion this week about how your kids are experiencing church and our worship service. It's a great time to let them ask questions, too!
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
Did you know anyone who was part of leading worship today? If so, who?
What do you know about our time of offering? Ask a parent or grandparent to tell you more about our church's practice of giving.
When did you feel most connected to God this week?
YOUTH
We will have our regular youth gathering this week after worship. The youth can gather in the front pews and then we will head up to our room together for lunch and discussion. We hope to see all of our youth there!
Have a wonderful Saturday!
With love and gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay
