Sunday School starts this weekend!
As the new leaders of the Sunday School Program, Brad and I would like to welcome you all to the start of the 2019/2020 Sunday School year. We had a wonderful time leading our church’s youngest members in several youth fellowship activities over the summer, and cannot wait to start the new school year.
Sunday school begins this Sunday, September 8th. We will begin the year with a group session so that everyone can meet each other and find out about the activities for the year.
Because we’re new to the program, we’d like to take the opportunity to meet all of the children and their parents in person. For this reason, we have decided to conduct in-person registration for the 2019/2020 year. You can register your child for the upcoming school year at the Church Block Party on Saturday, September 7th, or in the Parish Hall between 9:00 AM and 9:50 AM on Sunday, September 8th. For those unable to register in person, please email me at jaclyndavies77@gmail.com with the following information: child’s name, child’s birthday, child’s grade, parent(s) name, preferred contact number, preferred email address, whether child is a returning or new student.
The schedule for the 2019/2020 school year includes six terms, each consisting of five individual classroom sessions and one group session (exception: term one will have 4 individual classroom sessions and two group activities). We have some great activities planned, but in order to ensure we have another successful year, we need your help! Please prayerfully consider volunteering for one of the many volunteer roles within our program throughout this school year. Contact me for more information
Thanks,
Jackie Davies

Please collect and return your signs.
Due to the extreme, and potentially dangerous temperatures today, this event has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled for September 7th.
Would everyone who put up signs for the block party to please take them down this morning, save them, and bring them back to church as soon as you can. They will be reused for the new date in September.
We are postponing the Summer Block Party until 9-7 due to excessive heat
Out of love and an abundance of concern for those who have volunteered, (and those who were planning to attend) we are postponing the Summer Block Party scheduled for tomorrow afternoon due to the forecasted heat emergency.
The new date will be Saturday, September 7th, also from 4:00-8:00 pm.
Since we do not have access to the master eblast file, we would appreciate you sharing this news with any ministries and committees that you are involved with. (Better to hear it more than once rather than not at all…)
We thank everyone who has worked so diligently in planning the event, and trust that the same enthusiasm and support will be put towards the September festivities.
Please stay cool and safe!
