Outdoor Play and Exploration Space in the Hands of the City
In early spring, we learned that the City is requiring a building permit to develop our Outdoor Play and Exploration Space. That meant a lot of meetings, forms, etc. But we hope to get it approved and started by the time you read this! (Keep the project in your
prayers. ☺
Happenings in Children's Ministry
Kids United (1st - 5th graders)
We gather most Sundays after the “Blessing of the Children” in worship. Using short Bible verses and stories, songs, collaborative activities, and edible crafts, we explore how these stories can help shape us in our own lives.
We begin October 4 (St. Francis Sunday) with the adults, youth, and our pets for United’s Annual Pet Blessing. Then over the month, we’ll explore All Saints Sunday, how it began, and how various cultures celebrate it today.
​
-
Oct. 4: Pet Blessing – Kids join with youth, adults & animals
