Dear families,

We have been blessed with two wonderful September Sundays. Our classrooms are filled with dedicated teachers and enthusiastic children. What a joy to be together again!

Fall always brings new families in to our community. Just as we encourage our children to make new friends in class, I encourage you to reach out to new adults in worship and fellowship. We probably all remember the individuals who first greeted us when we were new to this community. And we probably all remember how overwhelming a new church can be. So, be bold! Give a welcoming word or friendly smile. We are the hands and feet and face of Christ to one another.

Children's and Family Ministry Committee Members wear special buttons each Sunday and have answers for all your Sunday morning questions (ok, most of
t hem). Look out for the buttons below and ask away.


With joy,
