Community Connection
“Family Time” is now Community Connection! While the name has changed, the focus has not: these activities, offered by our Children’s Education Director, are designed to help families remain connected to their faith, community and each other.
Each week, a new activity is introduced during Sunday worship and then posted below. Also, don’t forget to follow Community Connection on Facebook and Instagram.

Give of Your Time
Last week we talked about how people of all ages can practice generosity of spirit. This week, we’d like to talk about ways to cultivate a different kind of generosity – to be giving of your time.
Give of Your Spirit
Desert Mission has officially kicked off its stewardship campaign, and it’s got us thinking about generosity. Specifically, how can we encourage young people to be generous, and what can they do to put their generosity into practice?
Be More “Picture Smart”
In the book “Seven Kinds of Smart” by Thomas Armstrong, the author discusses the theory of multiple intelligences, which asks us to broaden our idea of what “smart” means to include a variety of types of knowing. One of these is spacial intelligence – the capacity to perceive and transform visual input. And one way to become more “picture smart” is to play visual thinking games, like...Bible Pictionary!
