Programming for Children
April 23rd
Nursery Care opens at 8:30am. Antonia and Joey are ready to play with your little one!
Sunday School 9:00 am: This Sunday, the children will participate in their final guided labyrinth walk of the programming year. Parents and caregivers, you are invited as well! Please consider joining us in the Bridges Room at 9am for a gathering conversation. Each family will have the opportunity to walk a small labyrinth in the adjacent Johnson Room. Sand, coloring, finger labyrinths, and other mindful activities will be available in the Bridges Room while you wait for your turn. To maximize our time and to not feel rushed, the children will not attend service this Sunday. We’ll move directly to Music Connections once all families have enjoyed the labyrinth.
Following service, please plan to enjoy the art gallery in Friendship Hall. Following our last labyrinth walk, the children created Earth Day images prompted by the question, ”what can we do to care for creation?” This Sunday, the Care of Creation Team will display those images along with postcards to send to our legislators with specific requests of what they can do to care for the earth.
Next week, there will not be Sunday School. But, children should plan to attend the 9am TruFunction rehearsal.
Music Connections: This Sunday, the children will move directly from Sunday School to Music Connections. K-5 families, I will assist with the transition since we are moving from the family labyrinth walk to music. Middle School Youth are invited to wait for me in Friendship Hall. Any middle schoolers participating in the “youth newsletter” presentation are welcome to join us after that segment in the service.
Once together, we will rehearse our ukulele songs for the TruFunction performance downstairs in the Bonhoeffer Room. Once we are warmed up, we will move to the upstairs Music Room to rehearse with TruFunction. After service, you will either find us there, the Bridges Room, or back downstairs. Jen Walker will be our Music Connections Volunteer.
Next week, the children and youth will stay in service for our performance with TruFunction. Music Connections will not be offered that day.
