Kudos to everyone who ran in the marathon or who cheered on those who did. Big ups to Grace Turner, who finished in just over four hours. Nice work, Grace!
Here's what you'll find happening for youth this Sunday:
Youth Choir will meet at 10:00 a.m. in Room 4F. All-Youth Community Time with bagels is on at 10:30 a.m. in the Bumpus Room.
Senior High stays in Bumpus at 11:00 a.m., while
Junior High goes to Room 4G and
eighth-grade Confirmation takes over the fifth floor for the first week of Circle Groups.
Meanwhile,
parents can join me (Pastor Rocky) at 11:00 a.m. in Room 5G for our first Parent Meeting of the year. I have a couple things to share with you about the upcoming year, but I mostly want to have a time for connecting with other parents and sharing questions about youth, church, or the intersection thereof. There will be coffee.
Be Part of Our Animal Blessing This Saturday!
Come to the Michigan Avenue courtyard at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, October 14 and bring your dog, cat, fish, or any other pet, to participate in our Blessing of the Animals service.
Also, you can help lead the service! The first person to email me that they're coming gets to lead a reading. Go!
