Happy Summer!
(Or Nearly Summer!)
Where will this summer take you?
I'm thrilled that for a BUNCH of our kids, summer will take them all over Greenville for our Missions Blast Weeks and to Flat Rock, NC, for Camp Prism!
IT'S GOING TO BE SO FUN!
Laura and I can't wait to get started this Sunday with our first Missions Blast Week for our older kids, and then later this month we get to do a new week with our younger friends! And soon after that, it'll be time for Camp Prism!
Below you'll find lists of kids registered for all our programs as well as basic info. You'll also receive an email before each program starts with pertinent information. (The one for Missions Week that starts this weekend will arrive in a day or two.)
Wherever you go this summer, know that God's love and our love goes with you! Of course, we hope to see a lot of you, but we'll be excited whenever we get to be together!
See you at church!
Love, Becky
PS. Be sure to keep up with all our fun on our Children's Ministry Facebook page!

Sign Ups Have Begun for A Parenting Seminar You Won't Want to Miss!
|
Juli, Mary Carol, and I are
SUPER EXCITED
to be able to offer to you this fall a very important parenting seminar relevant to anyone parenting of children aged 0-18.
We hope you'll get out your calendars and save the evening of
Sept 13
and the morning of
Sept 14
to meet with minister and social worker LeAnn Gardner as she gives us knowledge, tools, and confidence in being the primary sex educators of our children.
During the Sexual Awareness and Family Empowerment seminar, LeAnn will talk to us about consent, body safety/ boundaries, emotional health, puberty, and relationships at every stage of development. LeAnn emphasizes the importance of listening to and trusting our intuition – and teaching our children to do the same.
The world is guaranteed to give your children messages about their bodies. Join us as we learn how to help our children develop a healthy sense of their own God-given sexuality.

Sunday Schools Classes for Kids Combine This Summer
|
Beginning in late May, we started combining our Sunday school classes for the summer, since classes are often smaller with families taking vacation.
Grades 1-3 meet together in one class and grades 4-5 meet together in another class. We'll show them to their classrooms from our gathering time and will post signs so you'll know where to pick them up.
