2016 Next Gen header

Dear families,

Tomorrow night at Club 3-4-5, we will be focusing on classic Bible verses, like those above, that affirm God's sovereignty in our world and God's advocacy for us. Or in simpler words -- God is in control and present when we need help. Our children's days are filled with major and minor challenges, and they need daily doses of reassurance and encouragement.

But so do we, as parents. Our days are also filled with challenges. We read the news, we manage our grown-up lives and responsibilities, and we too need encouragement and reassurance. So, I'm sharing these three, key, timeless Bible verses with you too. Teach them to your children, pray them for yourselves, and know that the center (of our faith and life) will hold.

In shared ministy,

Take Home Questions 

October 15
Parable of the Wedding Banquet ( Matthew 22:1-14)
1. Who do you think finally came to the wedding party?
2. Who would you invite to a party if your friends couldn't come?

October 22
Faith and Example ( 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10)
1. Who do you thank God for when you pray?
2. What do you think it means to imitate Jesus?

We're crazy-excited for Club 3-4-5!

Your Child's New Bible - why? what? how? & when?
Sunday, October 29 @ 9:30 PM
Carol Wehrheim, church member and editor of the Common English Bible, will lead this time focused on helping parents help their child learn about the book central to our faith.
  • Why do we give Bibles to children?
  • What exactly do we hope to accomplish?
  • When or how should we be using our child's Bible?
This class is offered in conjunction with 2nd graders receiving their Bibles on this Sunday. But all parents, grandparents and interested adults are invited!
Music Notes from Ingrid
Dear Families,

What fun we have had in our rehearsals for Joyful Noise, Carol Choir and Choir 345! Your children are a delight; they sing beautifully, and we are an incredibly blessed community. We have been preparing for this Sunday, October 15, when we will sing with the Middle School Choir, Cantorei and the Adult choir at the beginning of the 9:15 am AND the 11 am service. This is unusual for everyone to sing at both services, but we want to begin the year sharing the joy and strength of our combined voices. It will be very exciting to sing together! 

Please know that your children's friends are always welcome to join our rehearsals. Choirs can be a family's entry into our church, and you are invited to invite

them. We will welcome them with open arms. 

See you on Wednesday!

Warmly,
Ingrid
