Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
Kids camp starts Monday, and we are so pumped to explore light in all its forms with our kids. Thank you to all our volunteers who have signed up to learn and play alongside our kids. It's going to be an awesome week together, and we welcome your prayers for a fun week encountering the light of Christ! Parents, keep an eye out for a special camp email coming today with final details and information as you prepare for Monday.
During camp our kids will be learning two worship songs. The Sunday after camp, June 25th, our kids will get to lead those songs in worship with the congregation. Parents, please bring your kids to the sanctuary at 9:30 AM that morning. We'll have breakfast treats for parents in the courtyard so that you can also have time to connect and hang out that morning. Yay for kids leading in worship!
Celebrate Juneteenth
The City of Pasadena is hosting a celebration of Juneteenth from 11am-3pm at Robinson Park in Pasadena today. Join the community in celebrating the achievements of our African American friends and family. This family friendly event will include music, arts and crafts and food for purchase. See this flyer for more details.
Celebrate Octavia Butler
Today at La Pintoresca Public Library from 1-2 PM, you and your families can discover Octavia Butler's books, life and legacy, and passion for libraries. Be the first to see La Pintoresca's newest portrait, commissioned by our La Pintoresca Library Associates, honoring our neighborhood's homegrown heroine, the Grand Dame of Science Fiction! Refreshments will be provided. See flyer below for more information.
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 will 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. This week, in line with the rest of the congregation, we will continue our series exploring what it means to live our faith fully embodied. We'll also have time to create something special for the father figures in our lives. We can't wait to see your precious kids!
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
What does it mean to love God with all your heart?
What do you appreciate about the father figure(s) in your life?
YOUTH
This week our youth will be off so they can spend time with their families on Father's Day. I apologize for missing that in last week's email. We will be back on for our regular youth programming on Sunday, June 25th. Thanks to all the youth who will join us at camp as leaders!
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for being such a special community of families!
With deep affection for you,
Pastor Lindsay
