PAST SUNDAY
AUGUST 22
Worship
Blessing of the Backpacks went beautifully, as we prayed over our childrens' backpacks, and then prayed over the backpacks donated for students at Whittier Elementary. My daughter bustled off to preschool today with the remark, "God's in my backpack, Mom!"
We'd love to hear how school is going for all over our children - please let us know!
Sunday School
We had several guests, and it was a joy to get to know them. We spent time learning each other's names, sharing our God's Light stories from the past week, and starting to make papier-mache shapes for our Bible Book magnets.
Parents' Meeting
A lot of great information was offered and opinions shared. I appreciated all of the participation, support, and above all, the amazing love present as we find a shared vision for our children's spiritual development.
NEXT SUNDAY
AUGUST 29
Sunday School: painting our papier-mache magnets, finishing up Books of the Bible, learning about the transition coming to our Sunday morning schedule

AUGUST 22 PARENT MEETING
Dear Parents:
Please come on August 22 fo r a discussion about the new directions for Children's Sunday School in the coming school year.
Plans have been based on feedback that includes:
Won't you join me on August 22 so we share these dreams together?
Childcare will be available. In addition, I'd like us to share a meal together. Would someone volunteer to provide a light lunch for the parents and children attending?
Please come on August 22 fo r a discussion about the new directions for Children's Sunday School in the coming school year.
Plans have been based on feedback that includes:
- a desire for children to experience more of the music in worship
- a need to keep disparate age groups engaged
- the fact of having to use what space is available
- Sunday School begins at 9:00 AM concurrently with the new adult class
- In addition to the lectionary lesson, Sunday School will include crafts, activities, snacks and choir
- Children under a certain age will remain in worship with their parents after the children's parable
Won't you join me on August 22 so we share these dreams together?
Blessings,
Aerin
