Some examples of difficult situations are grief, loneliness, divorce, serious illness, disability, job loss, and supporting family members with life challenges.

| Children's Worship Shelf |
|
by Monica Ness 
Why do we have the Children's Worship Shelf?
*
First, it supports our church's mission: ..."
Children are welcome, and families are supported."
*
Second, it allows children to participate in the worship service and get accustomed to the liturgy. The
materials provided
allow a child to quietly explore Bible stories and to engage in liturgical play while observing how adults worship
.
*
Third, a significant body of research indicates that children and young adults who participate in worship along side their parents are more likely to continue with regular spiritual worship practices as adults. Click this link to learn more.
How is the space to be used?
Parents can help children select one or two items from the worship shelf to take to their seat for use during the service. Children should always be attended to by an adult when at the worship shelf. Materials may be returned to the shelf in good order at the end of the service.

by Carrie Grip
Over 75,000 owner- occupied homes in the Sacramento area are considered substandard. Rebuilding Together understands the connection between the condition of a home and the occupant's ability to thrive and remain living in their own home.

Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit organization that improves 500 homes per year. FEC's Mission Team provided a sponsorship for the event.
