Dear Grandparents & Grand-friends,
A warm welcome to our new readers, and a happy fall to you all! If you have been on this mailing list for a while, you may have become accustomed to a monthly newsletter from me, corresponding to a “Tiny Try-it-Out” faith practice as it was introduced at church. We are excited to be kicking off a new series of faith practices that will help us learn about and celebrate different seasons of the church year. As a result, I will be sending Grandparenting Faith resources to you seasonally, rather than monthly (though some of those seasons are only a month, or less). I hope this new rhythm helps you and your people find meaningful ways to practice faith together!
The Church Year is often depicted using a circular calendar, divided into six seasons and beginning with Advent. It helps us mark time in the church year and tell God’s stories.
Do you have a story or example of an experience of faith shared with your grandchild? Please share! Send your idea to katie.strand@sotv.org.
Trail O’ Treats
Sunday, October 27
12:15 – 3:00 PM
Come to 11:00 am worship in your costumes, then stick around for indoor festivities that include a musical performance, followed by a church-wide party featuring trick or treating, games, Bingo, prizes, and of course…Treats! Bring a young person, or sign up to volunteer!
Each week, the Children, Youth, and Family Ministry staff gathers in prayer for each other, our programs, and your families. If you have a prayer request, please feel free to reach out to me so we can pray for you and your family.
Prayer requests can also be submitted at sotv.org/prayer.
