From Dana...
As we approach a new school year, I’m looking for ways to further connect with the children and youth of this congregation! I have been invited to (and able to attend some) sports events, dance recitals, and band concerts! Keep those invites coming! I love to see what our kids are doing in their spare time!
Happenings in Children's Ministry
Kids United (1st - 5th graders)
Elementary children begin in 10:00 worship, then receive a blessing and head to Kids United in the Education Wing where they explore faith through music, art, activities, and stories. In September, we start “Blessing and Letting Go,” a program created by the United Church of Christ. Using short scriptures, we consider the implications of blessing and letting go within our communities, churches, and the world. We may discover the freedom available to us when we are able to both embrace and release in a world of constant transition. Kids are encouraged to explore these themes in creative ways.
