Summer Pathways
Teach Us to Pray

Welcome Back!!!

First things first, a HUGE THANK YOU to all the individuals that shared their gifts with Summer Pathways! This includes John Huntley-Paleontology, Bryce Atkins-Fitness, Heather Harlan-Storytelling & Music, Don Day-Gardening, Hallie Rainwater-Dance, Chris Heuer-Pottery, Broadway Ensemble-Music, and Chuck Davis-Woodworking. Our children were so lucky to spend a Sunday morning with each of you. 

We are excited to welcome everyone back from summer break and officially kick off Pathways for the school year. We have made a few changes for this year, the most notable being new group names. When you drop your child off on Sunday morning, please take a moment to check the roster and have your child sit with their assigned group.   Also, new for this year, please fill out the Children's Ministries Registration Form so I can make sure that we have up to date contact and medical information for your family. You can find this form on the Pathways bulletin board, your church mailbox, or get one directly from me. Once again, we hope you all had a great summer and look forward to sharing faith and fellowship with your families this year. 

See you soon, 

Aimee

This Sunday, August 21, we will have our annual, "Blessing of the Backpacks." So make sure your kids grab those backpacks on the way out the door Sunday morning and we will bless them during the Children's Moments at the 9:00 and 11:15 service. 

Kinderpath, a Pathways orientation for our incoming kindergartners is this Saturday, August 20 at 10am. If you have a new kindergartner and have not received an invite, please contact Aimee McBride for more info. Also, we are launching a new rite of passage for our Kindergartners. On August 21, we will be gifting our new kindergartners with Storybook Bible. If you wish to purchase a Storybook Bible for your own student, please let Aimee know as she will be preparing an order soon. 

As always, we are seeking volunteers for Pathways. Our immediate need is for and individual or a team of two people to be a Pathways Guide. This is a weekly commitment that gives you the opportunity to develop a bond with the group that you work with. When this opportunity is shared by a team it allows for flexibility of schedule. Please contact Aimee if this a commitment that you can make for our children.

Calling all dancers, creative movers and jitterbugs kindergarten and up. Broadway's Dance Ministry is currently in the process of gathering our dance troupe and will be setting performance/rehearsal times soon. As we move forward, we would like to have a count of how many are interested, so if your child is, please contact Katie Marienfeld or Aimee McBride if your child is interested.

Thank you to all who volunteered for, donated  to and/or attended Galactic Blast VBS. Our children had a wonderful week celebrating God and made some wonderful memories. The least of which was seeing their pastors slimed as a result of meeting our offering goal of $1000. Columbia Public Schools Planetarium was excited to be the recipient of the offering and already has plans to use it for new exhibits. If you would like to take your child to see where their offering went, the Planetarium is open to the public the second Saturday of each month.
