Beloved Friends and Families with Kids,
Tomorrow will be a really fun time of worship, connection, and eating tacos as a church family. Yay! We'll begin with an abbreviated worship service with communion and then get the chance to share in smaller groups about the ways we are growing and connecting as a church body. Our nursery kids will be in their rooms as usual. Our kids above nursery age will start in the sanctuary and then will be dismissed to the park for some gymnastics with our own Nolan McSparran. Youth will be helping in various ways after our initial worship service, and I will send an email to youth parents with more details about that. Everyone is invited to stay for tacos in the park, so it's going to be a great day for us to fellowship and deepen our relationships. I can't wait to see you tomorrow!
Free Parent Webinars
Our own Grace Goodman will be part of a lineup of parent webinars being offered online at noon once a month on select Fridays. Each session is led by an expert in the field and includes time for Q & A. Topics include supporting executive functioning, how assessments can help kids and teens, body esteem and mental health, and building social connections. You can sign up to join for free using this link. Thanks to Grace and all our mental health professionals for the work you do!=
Supporting Our Kids and Youth
If your child has opportunities for us to come out and support them at a performance, competition, or talent showcase of any kind, let us know! We would love to build a calendar of their various activities so we can try to attend and show our support when possible. Our youth especially would love to be in the know about other youth, so please feel free to send us schedules or dates for special events where they would appreciate some FBCP support.
SUNDAY
KIDS
Our nursery room is open this Sunday for babies and toddlers four years old and under. Our nursery staff will be ready at 10:20 AM to receive your amazing kids. This week our nursery kids will explore the story of Joshua at Jericho.
Our kids five to ten years old can join us in the sanctuary for the start of worship and then will be dismissed to the park with Pastor Mary. They'll get to do gymnastics and their own time of sharing, and you can reunite with your kids in the park for our taco lunch.
Discussion Questions for the Table at Home:
What do you enjoy most about our church family?
Who has made you feel welcomed, loved, or known at church?
YOUTH
Our youth will join the church for a taco lunch this week, but we will be back on for our regular youth gathering next week.
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for being such a special community of families!
With deep affection for you,
Pastor Lindsay
