September is upon us! With it comes the start of many of our school-year youth activities -- The Wednesday Afternoon Homework & Art Program, Blessing of the Backpacks, and Sunday School.
Starting September 9th:
Wednesday Afternoon Homework & Art Program
The art and homework program opens its doors again! Join us from 3-5 pm for afternoon snack, some cooking projects, arts & crafts, and time for homework. We play indoors & outdoors. This is a really great time for kids to enjoy fellowship, and then they see each other in Sunday school when it's time for a more focused task. The Children's Choir meets after the program at 5 pm, so kids are welcome to stay all the way through both programs. Childcare is available from 3 pm to 8 pm, to accomodate the Incarnation Children's Choir and the Alleluia Choir, which both meet on Wednesdays as well.
Starting September 13th: Sunday School
Join us for the opening of Sunday School! All children are welcome -- support the children you know by helping them get to class. For more information on age groups and classes, please contact Daphne Vernon (579-2604 ext. 106, or email youthmin@incarnation-sr.org).
Also on September 13th: Blessing of the Backpacks
At the 9:15 service, we will mark
the end of the 'summer season' with the
"Blessing of the Backpacks." During the service, there
will be a time to bring whatever you carry "to do the
work you have been given to do" by God - your
school backpack, your briefcase, your lunchbox
- to the altar for a special blessing. In
blessing the things we carry, we go blessed to be in the
Presence of God in all circumstances and conditions,
whether lunchroom, classroom or boardroom.
Come join us!
