SRCA News and Notes

 

NOTES

Please park in the front of the school The side lot will be used for our Blessing of the Backpacks event after worship.

 

Youth and Children: Bring you back to school backpack to have it blessed - and to receive a little item or two to go inside.

 

We will be setting up at 8:00. This is separate from regular worship set up. Please come early to help, if possible.

 

If you have a SRC tee shirt , consider wearing it on Sunday! We will have SRCA nametags for parishioners to wear.

 

Plan to stay and "sit a spell" and enjoy fellowship and food. This is a picnic for us as well as an opportunity to reach out. We will need help cleaning up as well as setting up!

 

It's not too late to invite someone to attend! If you have invited someone and they are on the fence about attending - offer to pick them up!

 

 

Dear Parish Family,

 

On Sunday as we come together to worship the living God we will hear God's Word, gather around the Lord's table, and then carry our celebration out into the side parking lot for fellowship, fun, and food. During our worship all backpacks will be blessed, and we will also pray a special back to school prayer over our children.

 

Our readings this morning were selected to emphasize the thunderous thought of the day – 'Children are the church NOW!" Children are not to be relegated into the "future of the church." Our readings this morning include: Jeremiah 1:4-10, Psalm 71:1-6, 1 Timothy 4:12-16, and John 6:1-15. The sermon this morning will include several short stories that illustrate the ways children can have an impact on the Kingdom of God.

 

Plan to worship with us Sunday, especially if you have been away for a while. You are the church, you know, and when you aren't here the church is incomplete!

 

Faithfully,

 

Becki+
