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.

Celebrate More!

In a conversation about the vast collection of significant and less-significant holidays on the website “National Today,” specifically whether the number has become excessive, Pastor Jim made a simple yet powerful observation: more reasons to celebrate is a great thing! This is very on-brand for the man who just concluded a beautiful sermon series about things we can cultivate “more” of in our lives. It’s also an insight that we encourage your family to embrace, so this week, create your own reason to celebrate. Let’s add to the ranks of National Today with MORE HOLIDAYS!
