Update from Jane Keating
THIS SUNDAY
Time to Shine!
It will be great to see you & hear about your holidays! CAC also has the opportunity to use our creative energy to make the Epiphany Stars really shine! We will share them with our community during the Salt & Light gathering
LAST SUNDAY
We read Luke 2:15-21. Our question was: "What is the hidden prayer that is in your heart as you hear this?" We tried the Lectio Divina process and drew a picture. With Ella's picture, she told a story that the reading sparked for her. She shared this with the congregation, "Even the smallest person can be the biggest change."
Hi there!
We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the NE Kids Collective for 2023 for elementary school-age kids as well as their families. We will be having an info meeting with leaders, parents and folks who might be interested on Sunday January 22, 2023.
Building on the groundwork laid by Deacon Bonnie of Central Lutheran and Melissa Olmstead of Westminster Presbyterian, Dcn. Bonnie and I wish to continue journeying with our kids in discovering the all encompassing love of God as well as exploring the zillion ways this love can be known and expressed in our everyday lives.
The gatherings will be taking place on a monthly basis during the school year on Sunday afternoons starting on February 26.
Our times together will be highly interactive and revolve around creativity, celebration as well as hospitality as we seek to discover and enjoy the unconditional love of God in our lives. In each gathering, there will be extended times of imaginative hands-on exploration, a short time of celebration involving stories, prayer, songs, silliness, games, show and tell, etc. We hope to end each gathering with a meal together, enjoying each other’s company.
I invite you to come and explore with me and Dcn. Bonnie at our informative meeting on Sunday January 22 2023! We will meet at 3pm with the location being sent out closer to the date. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with either me or Dcn Bonnie.
