This Sunday, 9/14, we will be having one service at 9:30AM with a congregational meeting as the first part of the service. We will be discussing the Sunday School, which is a primary function of parish churches. We have over 75 children connected with COHS and around 15 are involved in Sunday School.

We want to have some brainstorming of realistic ways we can ensure the faith formation of as many of our children as possible. It is especially important for parents with children Sunday School age to be part of the conversation to tell us if another day is better than Sunday and another time is better than Sunday morning. We want everyone’s voice to be heard. Sunday School is everyone’s ministry who attends Church of the Holy Spirit.

We are also in our second week of Creation Care and the action verb for this week is Learning. This is a great verb for Sunday as we will be learning how to be more present and engaging with our children.

After Sunday the Vestry will continue this discernment with the information gathered. We will report back to the congregation on what is learned and what we are exploring. It will take some time to implement any significant changes.

Blessings and Love, DJ
