The start to a new school year is just around the corner and so is the start of a new year of Children and Youth Ministry here at United. While a few details need to be ironed out, here are some highlights about what’s happening this year. We need YOU and other passionate people to help with these programs!

    This Fall, KIDS UNITED continues meeting during the 10:00 service, following a pattern of “Love God, Love Neighbor, Love Creation” throughout the year.

• “Love God” Sundays will look like a traditional church school class. Story-based activities and crafts will enhance Sunday lessons.

• “Love Neighbor” Sundays will be once a month, centered around a service project – perhaps as simple as learning about organizations that help needy folks in our community OR organizing a health packs or food drive.

• “Love Creation” Sundays may involve a neigh- borhood morning hike, harvesting the garden, identifying plants and flowers outdoors, etc.
