Dear Families,
Hello! I hope all the kiddos who have gone back to school are off to a great start! I know that many parents have very mixed emotions about kids returning to school since COVID numbers are not what we had anticipated just a couple short months ago. Know that all the parents, kids, and school staff are prayed for daily and please reach out if you need to talk!

There will be some fun that evening with a brief outdoor worship service at 5:30 followed by food and fun!

**CLICK HERE to access a printable sheet of our plans for Chidlren’s Ministry this year. Of course, it is all VERY tentative and will depend on continued monitoring of health and safety conditions in our community as well as guidance from our session approved COVID Task Force. I’m sending it with HOPE that things will improve and we can get back to some of the events we love so much as well as some new ones!

I use this group to share updates, anecdotes, prayers, and help keep parents connected. You can also post relevant information and/or prayer requests in the group so that we can all support each other!
Would you be interested in serving on the Children’s Formation Committee to help make decisions and implement programs/activities for FPC children? Send me an email for more information! We will be meeting via Zoom next week!
