A Call to All Families!

The Children’s and Family Ministry Team is pleased to welcome your family to another year of Bible learning in Sunday school and exciting programming. Our first Sunday is September 12!

The goal for this year is:

To encourage and facilitate Bible learning and to show how its message is relevant to the lives of all people.

The schedule for this year’s Sunday School is as follows:

The first Sunday of each month is now family worship Sunday where families will worship together (children and adults) with the children’s choir performing and communion. Throughout the rest of the month all children ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade will enjoy Sunday school as the worship service is going on. How this will work is that we will all begin together inside the sanctuary at 9:30am with the children’s classes beginning approximately at 9:45am following the children’s story with Pastor Tim.

The youth’s Sunday school class with Glen VanFossen will meet in the youth room at 9:30am on the second and fourth weeks of each month. The youth have decided that they would like to be involved in the worship service more often and this schedule gives them this opportunity. They are also exploring ways to incorporate their worship ideas into the worship itself with music, skits, etc.

As always, the nursery with Virginia will be available to all who desire to utilize this ministry.

Exciting pieces of news is that there has been a projection television donated to the Children’s and Family Team and so of course, we purchased a WII and will have game nights with it! We are turning the room off the fellowship hall into a media room and will enjoy movies as well. Because the church is now wireless we have many opportunities to be innovative as we witness to members within and neighbors yet to be invited in.

The Children’s and Family Team is in the process of planning four large events and we are asking you for some of your ideas as well. A few suggestions already brought to our attention have been a camping trip to Pine Lake (A United Methodist Church campground in Westfield, WI), a trip to Skateland, and a day trip to either Wisconsin Dells or Great America next summer. What is your idea?

We are looking forward to a new year of Sunday school and scheduling – are you? Please come and bring us your thoughts (positive and critical) so that we can continue to make growing changes that will revitalize the ministry of our team. If you feel called to join our team we will love to have you as we recognize that more hands makes light work and more thinkers makes a wider scope of ideas.

Sincerely,

Pastor Tim O’Brien                              Pat Gattoni – team member
