Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
We only have a few more weeks in our series on embodiment for both our adults and our kids. Summer has gone by so quickly! We hope that you have had some good fodder for conversation about your bodies and our faith and how those are intricately connected. If you haven't had a chance to listen to any of our weekly scripture readings, that might be a practice your family could do together and then discuss after listening. I pray that we continue to have healthy relationships with our own bodies and the ways we were made for connection and relationship, both with our Creator and with one another. Here's to our exploration of feet this week!
Beach Day
Join us for fun in the sun! On Saturday, August 19th, everyone in the church is invited to Bolsa Chica Beach from 1-8pm for games, s’mores, and more! Let Pastor Chip know if you’re able to bring some firewood to help out with our bonfire. Bring your own food and drinks for the day and a snack to share. If you have questions about getting to Bolsa Chica Beach, contact Pastor Chip. We can’t wait to hang out with you!
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 so parents can head to the sanctuary for worship.
Our kids five to ten years old will join us in the sanctuary for the start of worship and then will be dismissed with their leaders. They can begin service with their families or sit with Pastor Mary and me in the front pews. This week, we will continue our exploration of embodied faith with an emphasis on feet. We have some fun interactive ways for them to learn about our amazing feet and what standing on holy ground might mean. We can't wait to have fun and learn with your kids!
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
What does scripture say about our feet?
Why did God ask Moses to be barefoot?
What do our feet teach us about our purpose?
YOUTH
This week our youth are invited to join our all-church potluck after worship. We will resume our regular Sunday worship next week. We are praying for all our youth who are starting school this week, and we will be rooting for you all year long!
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for being such a special community of families!
With deep affection for you,
Pastor Lindsay
