Sunday, August 16, Let’s Bounce!  Our kids will be bouncing up to a new grade on Promotion Sunday!

 ·       To celebrate, at all services we will ask God’s blessing on all the volunteers who work with our children and youth as well as all teachers, school staff, and administrators.   After the blessing and a special children’s moment in 9:30 am worship, the kids will bounce up to their new grade.

 ·       At 9:30 and 11:00 am, we will bless Backpacks in worship.  If you are starting a new path at school, college, grad school, a new career, you are invited to bring your backpack, satchel, or messenger bag to be blessed.

 ·       At 3:00 – 4:30 pm, we will continue the celebration at the annual Back to School SPLASH! There will be water and bubble fun in the back parking lot with a foam machine, slip and slide, a water slide, water balloons, water squirters, and water sensory bins for the little ones.  Lots of water, so wear appropriate clothing!  We will also have yummy treats to “round” off the afternoon.
