Nassau's NextGen - another round of VVBS plus Chancel Drama Sunday

Dear families,

As we near the end of this stay-cation summer, I hope you and your family have found moments of rest, renewal and joy. Although I'll confess to initially working through some wanderlust and grief over canceled trips, our family has been delighted to discover new adventures closer to home (why have we never done this before?!?).

Even in ordinary summers, these last weeks of August and into September can be a bit of a slog. To help give some shape to your days, we are relaunching this summer's VVBS program, Stories from Exile. Beginning next Monday morning, a "day" of stories, songs, Bible verses and activities will be posted to the Nassau Presbyterian and Nassau Next Gen Facebook groups. Both are closed groups, so if you are not already a member, please request to join.

As this quarantine continues, remember that our God is with us and for us and near us in times of trial and trouble.

I will be present for you,...

and I will bring you home after your long exile,declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 29: 14

In shared ministry,

Corrie

P.S DON'T FORGET to watch worship this Sunday, Aug. 23 -

A Table for Five...Thousand premiers!

VVBS Welcome and Supplies List

Children's Programming Plan - Fall 2020

Faith formation continues while balancing the need for safe, distanced interactions.

Church school for Pre-K to Grade 5 – Church school teachers will lead graded, virtual, synchronous church school classes via Zoom at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays, beginning September 13. Classes will be 20-30 minutes in length, depending on age.

Club 3·4·5 – This favorite program will return in late September with in-person, outdoor distanced opportunities for fun and fellowship, for 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th graders, as safety protocols allow. In order to limit attendance for safety purposes, but to also ensure all can participate, in-person Club 3·4·5 gatherings will take place 2x/month. Families may sign their child up for one gathering per month.

Seasonal programming (2nd grade Bibles, World Communion Sunday, Advent traditions) will be planned for in accord with best safety practices and recommendations in that season.

Contact Corrie with any questions, comments or feedback.
