We are going live this Sunday, it’s a thing! It feels like a whole new church plant right now in a new venue, new set up, new teams, new everything and children who are a year and a half older than when we were last together in person. So much has changed!
I’d like to wipe the slate blank and start again so I’m going to ask you all to re-register your children so I know you are in.
We’ll have the kids outside for much of the morning as we have the vast open space around the meeting room to do that, which is great!
ALL THE DETAILS ARE BELOW
If you aren’t ready to be in person yet, and would prefer to keep your kids at home, that is cool, there are, for now, two Sundays in the month when we will be online and not in person so kids will happen at 9:30am as we’ve done since last March.Even if you aren’t planning to come live could you please register them again so I make sure to include your children in things for the online weeks. Thanks.
Here’s a link to register.

Hoping to see you this Sunday morning

Sarah
PS; If you are staying home there will be zoom for grown ups but I’m afraid I can’t do kids zoom at the same time as setting up live so there won’t be kids online this week.

They will get you if a daiper needs changing.
They’ll bring children back to you at the end or you’ll find them downstairs.

They will be with your children on the playground and outside under the covered area for story, crafts & snack.
Find them outside after the gathering to pick up your children.
BIG KIDS (GRADE 2 - GRADE 5)
This team will be wearing blue shirts. They will be at the sign in desk so you can say hi and get stickers.
They will be with your children in the under covered area and on the playground throughout the gathering. They will be doing story, crafts, snack and reflection with them.

Our theme for the Fall is the list of things the Holy Spirit produces in God’s people that is found in Galatians 5:22-23. We’ll be taking one thing a week and thinking about how Jesus showed us that characteristic and how we can live it out loud as He shows us how.
This weekend the theme is LOVE. Jesus is LOVE. We are going to take advantage of being outside and we will focus on how Jesus shows us love through creation and how we can love creation as our way of loving God.
