From the Pastor's Pen

Dear friends,

My life has been all about Bible School this week.  Celia and Matt and I have been leading the music time portion of Bible School.  As you can see in this picture we were in the middle of singing the “Ordinary Kid” song.  Hannah was helping me lead through the motions for the song.  You may notice a basket of colored shakers near her foot.  The wood sticks are elsewhere, but rest assured, we have had a great time together.

The theme for this year’s Bible School was Compassion Camp.  We have spent the week thinking about how we might be compassionate people in God’s name and about God’s compassion for us which is often expressed through others.  In the midst of these important conversations with children we played games, made new friends, enjoyed lots of music, created works of art and did prayer time through yoga!  What fun!

I am grateful to Anna and our capable staff and all of our wonderful volunteers who have shared God’s love in this week with children of our church and children from our community.  I am grateful to all of you for prayers and the financial support which has made this ministry possible!

“ Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”  Matt 19:14.

Peace,

Pr. Sally
