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
Dedication of the Re-vitalized Nurture Center Sunday, August 2
Tracy and Ed Church have been helping Dana Bender spruce up the Nurture Center for our youngest congregants!
As you look at the two rooms, the one on the left is now set up for Babies and Young Toddlers, complete with resting places, tactile activities, and soft surfaces.
The room on the right is for children through Pre-k/ Kindergarten, with craft supplies, pretend play, building materials and more.
Thank you so much to Tracy for her willingness to oversee our Nurture Center and provide a consistent caregiver to our children. Thanks also to Maria Navarette for her help in nurturing these little people!
Please come and check out our ‘spruced’ and improved Nurture Center after the service on Sunday, August 2. There will be a blessing for its use in the coming years!
Blessing of Students and Educators
On Sunday, August 9, we’ll bless all students and educators (teachers, administrators, counselors, etc.) in both the 8:30 and 10:00 services! This is a wonderful time to wipe the slate clean (do kids know what a ‘slate’ is??) and set new goals for the new year! It’s an exciting time and meaningful service. Come one and all!
