Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
Thanks to all of our families who were able to join us for our potluck hangout last Sunday. We had a great time getting to connect with other families and are so grateful for the community of families with kids at FBCP. A very special thanks to Saskia and Natalee for all their help in organizing and hosting—y'all did such a great job! We look forward to more family gatherings and the chance to connect across generations.
Tomorrow is a special day for our congregation because we have a baby dedication. Each time we welcome a new child into our community we are reminded of the gifts of intergenerational formation and worship. I'm so excited for our time together tomorrow!
Kids Camp Registration
We are already making plans for camp this summer, and registration is now open! Camp will run June 24-28 from 9am-12pm each day. We are excited to help our kids encounter God's love together with people from our church family!
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. This week our nursery kids will get to explore the story of when Jesus blessed the children (a core story for the way we understand what intergenerational community looks like!).
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 in the front pews. This week we have a special guest with us—Jenn Edic will be sharing about her connection with kids on the other side of the world, and it will include music and her heart for God's love everywhere. We are so excited to share in this special time together!
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
Why is it important to learn from people who are different from us?
How can music and dance be an important part of worship and connecting with others?
YOUTH
This week we will be back on for our regular youth gathering after worship. We look forward to a meaningful time of discussion, lunch, and connection with our amazing youth!
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for being such a special community of families!
With deep affection for you,
Pastor Lindsay
