I’m noting again this week the congregational meeting we will have on Sunday, September 14, to talk about the “Future of our Children: Spiritually Empowering Them.” Because we are seeking many voices, we will have ONE service on the 14th that will begin at 9:30AM. (Note: the second service will not move back to its 10:15AM time slot until September 21.) Our conversation will be done as our work in the first part of our service and will end with the Peace of Christ. Then we will move into the Holy Eucharist.

Several of our Sunday School classes have been frequently 1 or 2 students since we returned to in-person classes from COVID. We have over 70 children under the age of 18 in our roles. As Sunday School is a ministry of the congregation, we want to gather everyone’s input in brainstorming. Is there a better time than Sunday mornings for engaging our children in spiritual education? Should we meet bi-weekly or monthly instead of weekly? Is there interest in doing family-formation together some weeks? If so, how often and what day of the week? If it continues Sunday mornings, the younger classes could use volunteers. Would you be willing to help? If you have questions or topics you would like to discuss, please email the information to me at pastordj@churchoftheholyspirit.us.

Blessings and Love, DJ
