JANUARY NEWSLETTER
To think that we are already into January just blows my mind. At this time each year we find ourselves looking ahead and thinking about what we want to change, or do better...Here is what I would encourage you to do during this month of January: I want you to really take time to explore with your child. What brings them joy, what makes them really unique and special, What do you love most about them:
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
God's Peace,
Katie Rykal, Director of Children and Family Ministry

Sunday School Recap and Look Ahead.
December found us spending a lot of our Sunday School time preparing for Advent and the Christmas program. As we head into January our Sunday School resumes with our regular schedules and jump back into stories.
Our PreK-K will look primarily at the Story of Daniel while our 1st-3rd graders will cover the call stories of Jeremiah and Samuel, and the Don't Worry portion of the Sermon on the Mount. 4th-5th graders will jump right back into following the Lectionary while our 6th graders will resume their Catechism Study as they look at the 10 Commandments and begin the Apostles Creed.
Baptism Celebration
For everyone baptized in 2017 (and their families): We invite you to our Annual Baptism Celebration. This is our opportunity as a Church to celebrate with you as you work towards remembering this important milestone in your family member's life. We will meet in the CLC on Sunday, January 7th from 10:00 - 10:30. RSVP to HALEY by Thursday, January 4th.


POP Tots Playgroup
Our first POP Tots playgroup of 2018 will be on Sunday, January 7th. We know that some of our Play Group members will be at the Baptism Celebration, so we will rejoice with them as we reflect on our own baptisms with a little bit of indoor bubble action. We will meet in the Nursery from 10:00 - 10:30 am.


POPpers Tubing @ Elm Creek
All POPpers (4th-6th grade) AND their families are invited to join us for an afternoon of Tubing at Elm Creek. Katie will be at Elm Creek from 1-3 and will hit the hills on occasion, and spend time warming up with anyone who needs a little break. Simply let Katie know that your family is planning to attend, and when you get to Elm Creek, go through, fill out the waivers and pay for your family.
SEE you on the HILLS!
