Calling All Kids -- When you are at worship this Sunday for the Backpack Blessing, be sure to check out the quiet play area in the sanctuary. This mini-"prayground" is a place where you can play while you and your grownups continue to participate in the worship service. You will find children's bulletins, crayons, books, puzzles, and some quiet toys.

All kiddos in the prayground should be accompanied by an adult. For those who want to stay in their pews, don't forget to pick up a children's activity bag. An unattended nursery/children's playroom is also available just outside the worship space for any adults who prefer to take their little ones out of the worship space for a time.

Play is the work of children. And we invite you to play as you pray!

Friends, the scammers are at it again. If you receive an email that claims to be from Pastor Jennie asking to talk about a favor, delete it and report it. Same for calls and texts. Remember, she will never ask for money through email or text.
