Dear families,
We are halfway through the season of Lent. I hope that these weeks have given you and your family some opportunities for prayer, reflection, maybe a Lenten conversation or two amidst all the usual duties. Even if you haven't been able to keep up with daily devotions (and stickers and Bible reading), sometimes a weekly catch-up session is just as meaningful. Be gracious to yourself. Acknowledging to our children that we falter n our own prayer life is a powerful witness. Children are shockingly adept at picking up duplicity. If keeping up with Lenten disciples has proved challenging, have an honest conversation with your kids. And make a commitment to keep trying ("I will, with God's help"). That's discipleship.
Sunday, April 9 is Palm Sunday. Bring your packed to the gills (!) fish banks back to church that Sunday. We will collect them during the Time with Children in both worship services.
Vacation Bible School 2017 registration is launched and live. We also have a dedicated site for volunteers. It takes a whole congregation to make a week of VBS meaningful and effective. Sign up! We need you.
