Children's Ministries
Big News! We will begin planning in person Children's Ministries coming soon: Children's Church, Nursery and Sunday School!
My weekly e-mail below was mostly written and formatted yesturday, when after discussions with the Leadership today about restrictions being lifted and changes in Covid guidelines, it came up that we could begin to prepare for in-person, indoors Children's Ministries.

It will take a little time to get set up and back into action, so I'm not sure of an exact date yet, but the good news is... it will be coming soon. I'll be consulting with our Weekday Ministries to make sure we are following all required safety guidelines. In the midst of this, I'll be working on hiring Nursery staff and I'll be reaching out to your families to organize, recruit volunteers and we will prepare for a return to a fresh Children's Worship, Fellowship, and Child Care Ministry.

Each family is encouraged to participate at their comfort level. We know each family has unique circumstances. When timing is right for your family, St. Paul's looks forward to being in ministry with you together. Until we are together we still value your participation while being apart.

If you are interested in employment in the church Nursery Sunday mornings or would like to volunteer on Sunday mornings, please e-mail esoza@stpaulsumc.com. We do require current Act 33/34 Clearances as required by PA and a Safe Sanctuary Training that can be scheduled through Erin Soza. Please be in contact if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns.
St. Paul's
Summer
Olympics
We are all anxiously awaiting the time when we can be back into the routine and it feels like that will be happening sooner than later. That does not mean we won't try to have a very fun time celebrating ministry this summer! We are in the process of developing a St. Paul's Olympics Ministry for children, youth and adults. A ministry where we all come together during these challenging times to meet the challenges of the day in fun ways.

We would like to have a planning meeting and develop a comittee to discuss how we could develop this outreach and ministry and we will need the support of adults to lead events and help in many areas. Take a look at the ideas outlined and we will plan a zoom meeting in the next few weeks to work on some details.
