LAST SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22
Chalice Children: Last Sunday our youngest children explored the many ways we are surrounded by love in our church. We passed around a “Love Bowl,” where children each dropped in a stone and shared the name of someone they love. We were so touched to hear the children saying they loved each other! They are truly blending and bonding with each other in this class and we are so delighted! The class talked about the changes they are observing in their church and in nature as we transition from summer to fall. They even had a “not-so-messy” art project depicting the changes the colors of leaves on the trees.
Roots and Shoots: Last Sunday, the Roots and Shoots class started planning for their Christmas play, “The Year Mrs. Claus Took Over Christmas,” which will be held December 17. Mark your calendars!
High School Aged Youth: We held an interest/information meeting for all High School age youth. The room was full of positive friendly energy as they introduced themselves to one another and made plans for the coming months.
THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29
Chalice Children: This Sunday’s lesson will be about forgiveness. In the session, children will:

Weather permitting, they will also have time outside.
