St. Andrew's Children and Family Ministry

‌

Dear Families, Just a quick note today because I am attending a conference on the mental health and wellbeing of our children and youth. I am excited to share some of the helpful things I've been learning. Let me know if you would like to meet for coffee or a walk and chat. I am continuing to celebrate this season of Eastertide by noticing God's handiwork in nature. Josh Huber's article below beautifully explains one process for doing that. Are you continuing to celebrate this joyous season? If not, can I help? I'm excited that VBS registration is now open. We are partnering again with Bethlehem Lutheran and I am looking forward to a Stellar week with all the kids. Please read below for more information on VBS, Sunday School, and much more! Much Love, -Erin
