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.
Let It Snow
A wet cold snap has descended on our corner of Arizona this week, which in many places would signal the onset of snow, but here has resulted (at least as of now) in nothing more than chilly rain. Whether or not we see any actual snow here in the Valley, this weather brings to mind the oft-used expression that no two snowflakes are exactly alike, and neither are people. So this week, we invite you to celebrate your uniqueness through a simple snowflake craft.
Prepare for La Befana
We may have completed our journey around the world in anticipation of Christmas, but as Epiphany approaches, we’d like to invite you to take one more trip with us: to Italy, to hear the story of La Befana, the Christmas witch.
Christmas Around the World, Part 4 – Cuba
We have reached the last stop in our annual trip around the world to explore Christmas traditions from different countries! This week we arrive in Cuba, where the Christmas season reverberates with the sounds of celebration.
Christmas Around the World, Part 3 – India
We are in the midst of our annual trip around the world to explore Christmas traditions from different countries! We took a break last week to do our all-music service, but we’re back this week and headed to India, where each region has its own way of celebrating.
