Dear St. John’s families,
Happy Columbus Day Weekend! On these long weekends, we find that attendance is a little lighter so we combine into two classrooms. Pre-K will meet in their regular classroom. While the remaining classes will meet together in Lower Weld.
This Sunday is a scheduled “work day.” In Godly Play terminology, this is when the kids have an extended time to work on a project. This week, we’ll be painting and decorating wooden birdhouses! This is a really fun activity and ties in perfectly with lessons we’ve been learning about Creation Care and St. Francis.
Some of the kids may like to donate their birdhouse to a fundraiser that we’re organizing for our youth to go to South Africa next summer. If they want to take them home instead that’s great too!
Coming up!
We are less than two weeks away from opening night of the Not-So-Spooky Haunted House! It takes a village of volunteers to make this event a success—please sign up here!
October 27 is our first All Ages Worship of the year! These services are geared towards children but inclusive to everyone. We will be treated to Fr. Ed demonstrating one of our favorite Godly Play lessons, The Parable of the Mustard Seed, from the gospel of Matthew. All other readings are performed by children. If your child would like to do a reading please email me! The choristers will be singing too.
If you have not done so yet, please register here for Sunday School now. We need a new registration every year.
Warmly,
Alexis
