We hope you’ve had a great summer and look forward to being together again at Edwards Church this month! We have lots planned for the coming weeks. Each week, Christian Explorers and their families will again receive a package or a letter with something to think about and do in preparation for our time together on Sunday.
- On Sunday, September 13, in worship we’ll have a virtual Blessing of the Animals, so be sure to read the article below for more information about including a video of your pets and participating in the service that Sunday.
- The next Sunday, September 20, we will officially install Karen Nell as associate pastor of faith formation and outreach at Edwards Church. Families and children will have a special role at the beginning of the service lighting their candles, just like Ms. Myrna does at Sunday School. You’ll receive a candle of your own and directions for being part of that special service.
- Then, in the afternoon of September 20, from 2:00-3:00 p.m., we’re continuing the celebration with an outdoor Backpacks and Bibles Treasure Hunt at the church. Mark your calendars now to join us up at Edwards Church with your family for this fun afternoon adventure!On Sunday, September 27, Sunday School in your pajamas begins at a new time of 11:30 a.m. (so that other family members can attend the virtual coffee hour after church!). Our theme for the next few weeks will be “Jesus the Healer” with lots of stories about Jesus’ healing miracles.
We continue to keep in touch through Zoom, letters, email and photographs. If you know of families and children who might like to join us, please invite them to join us on Sunday mornings or suggest they contact Karen Nell directly. See you on Sunday!
