Can you believe we're about to begin another brand new school year? We can't wait to see what this new year brings and we're so glad to have you on this journey with us.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: KIDS TAKEOVER
This month, we're showing our whole church the unique ways God is shaping our kids' stories of faith. It's going to be awesome!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: VOLUNTEER MEETING(S)
Thank you for coming out to last month's volunteer meeting! Our next meeting is around the corner, so mark your calendars! We hope to see you there as we learn about [add your own topic(s)] together.

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: ESCAPE ROOM
We are creating a complete escape room experience for your kids -- you'll definitely want to join in on the fun!

UNUSUAL: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON DAVID
WEEK 4 BIG IDEA:  GOD'S LOVE IS UNCHANGEABLE.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

What is a narwhal exactly? Have you ever spotted a sasquatch in the wild? Can you catch a centaur? Unusual animals are interesting and unique, just like King David’s story. It was unusual for David to become a king, and he didn’t always get things right, but his story teaches us that, God uses unlikely people, and gives unexplainable joy. Kids will use their imaginations to get to know an unchangeable God who does unexpected things.

I know some of you might think it's kooky, but no joke - meditation works. Maybe not necessarily to achieve a spiritual status, but taking a few minutes to quiet your thoughts can be a great way to start your day or unwind after a long one. You can use apps like THIS ONE to guide you.
At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
