Gathering at 6 pm in the Donnell Building
For the next 4 weeks we will be gathering with missionaries from across the United States, and our partners at Global Frontier Missions, for food, fellowship, and song.

Please make every effort to join us on Wednesday nights. You may bring a salad or dessert.

SANCTUARY MODIFICATIONS
"Sanctuary Modifications for Nurture and Hospitality" At the April 15th meeting, Session approved a motion from the Christian Education Committee to modify the back of the Sanctuary to create a welcoming space for birth through kindergarten age children and their families. The motion proposes the removal of 2-3 back pews on both sides of the Sanctuary, and the addition of baby- and child-friendly furniture and supplies, such as a rug, rocking chairs, tables, crayons, and lectionary-based activities. The hope is that the proposed changes will accomplish the following:
- families with young children will feel welcome to worship with their children at Memorial Drive
- children will be nurtured and educated in worship while engaging in child-appropriate activities that relate to the day's worship service
- adult volunteers and parents will be able to worship more regularly in the Sanctuary for their own nurture
- children and their families will be equipped to have faith conversations with one another by experiencing worship together
Over the next several weeks, the Christians Education committee will be working out the details and the cost of the work to be done. The committee will continue to keep the congregation informed as the work continues. We ask that the congregation continue to pray for the spiritual nurture of the entire congregation, from babies to senior adults, and for us as the congregation to continue growing in our hospitality for even the youngest of God's children. Jihyun Oh, Parish Associate on behalf of the Christian Education Committee |
