Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
The weather finally feels like spring is here and summer is around the corner! We are praying for our families with kids as many of them begin the final month of school with all the events and activities that come at the end of the year. We are also looking forward to our summer camp, and registration is open starting today! See below for details.
We are also happy to announce that we have installed some new doors and a user-friendly entry system for our kid spaces. You'll notice the new doors this week, but we are still getting the system ready for our parents and volunteers to use. Keep an eye out for an email next week with more information. We are excited for the updated security and ease of access for our families!
Kids Camp
Yay! We hope you saved the date for June 19-23 for our annual kids summer camp! We are focusing on all the ways that God has created us for light and goodness as we explore both literal and metaphorical light. Our summer camp is always an awesome time for our kids to get to know each other and other adults in their church family better. We invite members of our congregation to lead activities based on their own passions and expertise, and this year is going to be a blast! You can register your kids here. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with registration. If you are an adult in our community and you want to help with any part of camp, let us know!
Youth Families, our summer camp is also a chance for our youth to serve and have fun together as camp leaders. Let us know if your youth is able to join us for the week or part of the week. We love hanging with our youth, kids, and adult volunteers!
Youth Hospitality This Week
This Sunday is a fifth Sunday, and that means our youth are invited to join our hospitality team. They can arrive for our 10:00 AM huddle and then Pastor Chip will get them ready for the morning. It's a fun way for our youth to help us welcome guests and set the tone for a joyful morning together. Email Pastor Chip if your youth is able to join!
SUNDAY
KIDS
Our nursery room is open this Sunday for babies and toddlers four years old and under. Childcare will be open starting at 8:50 AM for those who are attending Sunday School before service.
Our kids five to ten years old will join us in the sanctuary for the start of worship and then be dismissed to head to their classrooms together. They can begin service with their families or sit with Pastor Mary and me in the front pews. We are excited to spend time together as we continue to explore how Jesus spent his time after the resurrection. We can't wait to see your precious kids!
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
What does it mean to be a good leader?
What does it mean to be a good follower?
When is it hard for you to follow or lead?
YOUTH
We are excited to have our regular youth gathering after worship this week! Parents can pick up their kids at the park gate on Union Street at 1:30 PM.
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for being such a special community of families!
With deep affection for you,
Pastor Lindsay
