Dearest Church,
As we kick off a new school year, we wanted to tell you about some exciting changes we’re making to help us all grow as disciples who make a difference. Starting on Sunday, September 10th, we’re going to be modifying what our Sunday mornings look like!
The New Schedule is:
9:00 Worship (Traditional Choir Led Worship)
With Young Children going to Children’s Church
10:15 Sunday School (For ALL Ages)
11:15 Worship (Contemporary Band Led Worship)
With Young Children going to Children’s Church
We know that this new schedule will be an adjustment for everybody, but we also think that this will help us grow as disciples.
This new schedule gives us an opportunity to model our faith and worship for our children (and others) as we strive to grow deeper, together. We learn how to worship by worshipping and by watching others worship. This new schedule innately provides more ways for us to do this.
This new schedule also puts a much stronger emphasis on learning through Sunday School classes. With a dedicated Sunday School hour, we can all be studying our faith together (both through learning and through teaching).
This new schedule will also help our fellowship together as we can participate in the Sunday School hour together. We may even be able to use this middle hour for other activities to help us grow deeper as a church.
If you have any ideas or concerns, please let us know. If you haven’t had an opportunity to sign up to teach, please let us know. If you are wondering about other options for growing deeper in our faith, please let us know!
I’m excited about this fall! I’m excited about how we can grow deeper as a church. I’m excited for what God has in store for us!
Sincerely, Your Pastor
Rev. Tim Galligan
