As we step into August, we’re mindful of how quickly the summer season passes—filled with sunshine, family time, and slower rhythms that allow space for rest and renewal. We hope these past weeks have brought joy and meaningful moments to your family.

With the new school year just around the corner, we’re beginning to shift our hearts and minds toward new routines, fresh opportunities for growth, and another season of walking with your children in faith. Sunday School will continue to be a place where they are known, loved, and guided in God’s truth—and we’re excited for all that’s ahead.

In September, we will dive back into our Grow curriculum with exciting new monthly series and our Bible Bucks rewards system. This year, as our kids continue to grow in both age and understanding, we’re introducing something special: each Sunday, we’ll be participating in service in some capacity.  From Communion, to tithes and offerings, to other meaningful expressions of worship Pastor and I create together, your children will have the chance to live out their faith in new and hands-on ways. We want them to not only observe church — but be the church. Future Parent emails will detail what parents can expect each Sunday.

 

Here’s what’s coming up in our ministry . . .

Aug 3rd - Communion Sunday 
On the first Sunday of every month, the children will join you in service for communion. Children will stay with their parents for the remainder of the service. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to participate together in this meaningful tradition!

Aug 10th & Aug 31st - Birthday Celebrations 

We’ll be celebrating two special birthdays in our Young Disciples class!  To make the days sweet, we’ll have cupcakes and sparkling cider together as a class and celebrate these two amazing disciples. We hope to see your kiddos there to join in the celebration!

Aug 31st - Humble Servants Sunday! 

On the last Sunday of this month, our Young Disciples serve as Humble Servants by helping collect Tithes and Offerings during the worship service. It’s a wonderful way to finish the month in the spirit of giving and community!

Sept 7th - Save The Date: Kickoff Sunday! 

The Church will be sharing more details soon, but for now—go ahead and mark the date on your calendars!

 

August Sunday School – Summer of Faith, Fun, & Friendship!   

We’ll continue meeting in the Youth Room in August.   

Snacks – Servant Leaders will continue providing snacks for the kids each Sunday.

SuperBook Episodes – Each week, we’ll be watching a 30-minute episode from SuperBook based on past lessons they've learned in our Grow series.  It’s a wonderful tool for reinforcing Biblical truths in a format kids love!

Pop Quizzes – Repetition is key at this age, and we believe reviewing lessons in a playful way helps the truth of God’s Word sink in deeper.

Games & Social Time – We’ll also enjoy games that encourage socialization, teamwork, and strong Christian friendships. These moments of fellowship are just as important as the lessons themselves as they help build a supportive and loving community among the children.

This whimsical, imaginative book reminds us that sometimes being like a kid makes us better grownups.
