Mid-Summer Family Fun Water night
Friday July 10 5:30-7:30pm
It’s hot! It’s the end of the week and you want to escape the responsibility of food planning. What you REALLY want to do is join in a water balloon toss and get a little wet on a hot summer evening. Look no further! Come to the church and hang out for an evening of food, water games, and (I’m certain) lively conversation! Please contact Dana Bender or sign up in Community Room by July 6!
Happenings in Children's Ministry
Praying in the Dirt
(And Feeding Hungry Families)
Children's Garden
The garden is planted, and parts of it re-planted due to hungry critters! There have been more signs of wildlife on our grounds this summer than last, so we’ve had to reinforce our garden beds to ensure we’ll have veggies to harvest. Many thanks to Bob Ansheles and Donna
Clark for spearheading these efforts.
​
Each Sunday, Kids United will weed, harvest and observe the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor. All produce from the Children’s Garden goes to the Santa Fe Food Depot to provide nutritious food to people throughout Northern New Mexico. You can help United kids feed other kids (and their parents) by volunteering to take a week of watering, weeding, or harvesting this summer. Sign up in Community Room or contact Dana Bender.
Sunday Mornings
In June, Kids United (1st -5th graders) started singing on Sunday—and will continue throughout the summer. Whether through song, drums, or other music making, we’ll learn how music helps us to “Love God, Neighbor, and Creation!”
​
Also in June, we ramped up our Nurture Center Ministry (infants through Kinders) with the leadership of volunteer Tracy Church and Children’s Aide Maria Navarette.
