Childcare Needs this Fall

Support discipleship on the front lines and assist mothers and families, to care for their children.

As we prepare for our Fall Kickoff of Christian Education events and Fall Children's Ministries, we have two nursery needs that will need a few volunteers:

• Monday mornings, 915am-1130am, 2nd & 4th Mondays, MOPS Nursery (Mothers of Preschoolers)

• Sunday evenings, 4-6pm, Foundations Bible Study and Youth Group Leaders Childcare

Volunteers can serve once a month, once a week, or whenever fits your schedule. Sunday evenings begin Sunday, Sept. 12th, and Monday mornings begin Monday, Sept. 13th.

Thank you for praying into how you serve our children this coming season. Contact Tara Pedersen for more info.

VBS Volunteer Commissioning

Calling all VBS Treasure Hunters! Before we have amazing encounters with Jesus and our community throughout next week’s Vacation Bible School, let's wear our VBS t-shirts this coming Sunday, July 18 (either service). We will be commissioned and sent out on mission! Fr. Scott will invite us to stand for a prayer of commissioning during the Sunday services as we prepare our hearts to show the children in our community how treasured they are!

Children's Church Update

Late Summer Children's Church Update:

To give our teachers a summer break before our "Back to Sunday School" kickoff mid-September, Zoom Children's Church will end July 18.

The Pre-K and Elem classes will be combined into one class, with a Missionary Hero visitor dressing up and telling the children about their life mission for Jesus! A new Missionary Hero each week to visit the kids! We will then do outdoor Faith Formation activities such as Family Prayer (Book of Common Prayer) in the church backyard, sidewalk chalk prayers, exploring creation in the garden, or prayer walking to VBS music.

Come join in!

Only 9 slots left for Treasured Vacation Bible School!

Spaces have been filling up for our Treasured VBS beginning next Monday, July 19 through Friday, July 23 (9 a.m.-12 p.m.). To register click the VBS Website button below!

Our children discover they are priceless to God as they embark on an epic quest through hidden ruins, ancient caves, and dense jungles. This is the summer event that helps kids discover God's greatest treasure isn't diamonds, gems, or gold—it's them! Small group crews and their Crew Leader will travel together for each day's adventure, worshipping and singing at Sing & Play Rock, digging into Bible Adventures, experimenting with Science-y Fun take-home Gizmos, playing games that reinforce the day's Bible Point, viewing Kid Vid Cinema real-kid testimonies, and eating fun treats at Vine Dining Snacks.
