WEDNESDAY NIGHT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

Parents of kids in our Wednesdays180 program, are you wondering what there is for you?  This Wednesday (November 20) we will be having a conversation about Immigrants and Refugees and what God has to say about this issue in our time.  Wednesday, December 4 will be our next Messy Church. We really hope parents, kids, youth, and all ages will take part in this special Advent/getting ready for Christmas Messy Church.

What is Messy Church? We gather with song and then read our Bible focus for the night. After a brief discussion on the Bible verse, we explore that verse at different stations. The stations are designed for all ages' participation. Usually there are a few stations that are creative, one focused on prayer, one more focused on writing, and at least one "game" type activity -- all having to do with the Bible Verse. Then we gather back together for the last 15 minutes or so to not only take part in Communion, but we also talk about what we are doing and why. Then we sing our way out as we are blessed and dismissed.

December 11: kiddos will be rehearsing for the Christmas Pageant that will take place on December 15 at 9:00 a.m. worship, and many of us will be talking about what Christmas means for us in our lives at our Manna and Mercy conversation.

December 18: Outreach to our neighbors at Brookdale as we walk over there for Christmas Caroling and handing out some decorative pens our kids made earlier in the year.

And, of course, it is always great to simply meet with friends in the fireplace area, sit and relax and take a breath. We hope you will join us.
