Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
I am officiating the wedding of a dear friend this weekend, so I will miss worshiping with you tomorrow. I know it will be a beautiful time of communion with our kids as you gather on this first Sunday of July. I pray that your families receive the rest and time for play that is possible during summer.
Youth Hangout
We are so excited to hang out with our youth at the home of Kara and Dave Powell on Monday, July 17, from 12-4 PM. We'll grill out and enjoy their pool, basketball hoop, and volleyball net along with other non-sports options. Youth and their friends are welcome to join us! I will email youth parents the address. If your youth needs a ride, please let me know.
SUNDAY
KIDS
Our nursery room is open this Sunday for babies and toddlers four years old and under. Childcare will be open starting at 10:20 AM.
Our kids five to ten years old will join us in the sanctuary for worship and communion since this is the first Sunday of the month. Make sure your child picks up a fun survey to fill out during worship—Pastor Mary will have that ready in the lobby, and it's always a favorite activity for our kids (and youth!). We will continue with our series on embodiment, and I encourage you to talk with your kids about how their bodies are wonderfully made by God to experience life fully.
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
What part of worship was most memorable for you this week? What made it stand out to you?
If compassion is one of God's greatest names or attributes, how does that help us to trust in God?
YOUTH
We are excited to have our regular youth gathering after worship this week! Pastor Chip will be there to lead the time with our youth in my absence. Parents can pick up their youth 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
