Dear families, Back in the days of normal time and schedules, this coming Sunday, May 17, was scheduled to be Teacher Appreciation Sunday and the last Sunday of our regular program year. But even in "quarantine time," we can't let this day pass without a shout out to our church school teachers. Although the regular routine has been interrupted (to say the least), they deserve heaps of praise for their commitment week in and out to the children of our church and community. Many have even braved the technological jungle in order to keep in contact with you all these days of distancing. This year, we can't recognize and thank our teachers in worship, but join me in saying prayers of gratitude for their intrepid, faithful presence in our lives. And do click on the clip above to hear Preschool church school teacher, Gordon Thomas, singing the gospel. Amen. Amen. Amen. Then we, your people,  the ones you love and care for, will thank you over and over and over. We'll tell everyone we meet how wonderful you are,  how praiseworthy you are! Psalm 79:13 (The Message) with hopeful hearts and clean hands,

V(virtual)VBS 2020: Stories from Exile

Come discover how the people of God practice faithfulness in a new land, separated from one another and their beloved worship space. Sound familiar, friends? We've got a new group of Old Testament stories about how the people of God survived (and even thrived) after a large group were taken to Babylon by the conquering King Nebuchadnezzar. These are the Stories from Exile . VVBS will feature a daily email (sent Monday, June 22 to Thursday, June 25) with video links to all your favorite components - stories, crafts, outdoor activities, daily memory verses and even (especially!) music. Activities will be geared for age 3 to grade 6, but all ages (including adults) are welcome to sign up.

Music Notes

Dear families, It is May, and this month we would love to have your family participate in our virtual choir project! ALL families are welcome and encouraged to participate. We plan to share "Amani Utupe" in our May 31 service, see video below. All that is needed is for you to send me a video of you/your child(ren) singing along with this video. (Play me in their ears, but video record them singing!) Landscape is best. Please reach out if you have questions, but it is our sincere hope to gather as many videos as we can. It will mean so much to see and hear our friends, and to gather our voices in this sincere prayer. Videos are due to me by May 20th. "Amani Utupe" is Swahili, and the text translated means: Grant us peace, give us courage. With love and gratitude, Ingrid Next Wednesday, May 20 (Links will be sent via email next Wednesday) Joyful Noise and Carol Choir ZOOM at 4:00 pm Choir 3-4-5 ZOOMS at 5:00 pm
