August 2013

Sunday School Rally Day: August 25th, in the Fellowship Hall at 9:30 am. Breakfast will be served (listen for calls from Debbie Neagle to assist with a dish) to be followed by activities and introductions. Save the date and plan to attend as a family. 

Blessing of the Backpacks: This is new to Holy Comforter, but not to the greater Christian community. All children are encouraged to bring their backpacks for school and par-ticipate in a special time of blessing for the new school year. This will take place during the worship hour on Au-gust 25th. 

Sunday School for all ages will resume its regular sched-ule of 9:30 am on September 1. 

All teachers who have agreed to lead our children and youth are asked to meet with Beth at 9:30 am Sunday August 11, to receive your curriculum and training for this coming Sunday School year. Thank you in advance for your time, willingness and leadership in growing our children and youth in their faith. 

The last Holy Play Day for adults for 2013 will take place on Saturday, August 24th, in the fellowship hall beginning at 9:30 am. Thank you to all who have given of their time and talents to start this program. 

Workday for cleaning & organizing the Sunday School rooms is scheduled for Saturday, August 17th. Please come as you are able to help spruce up this area. 

Kids’ Club will meet Saturday, August 17th at 10:00 am in the fellowship hall for a Back-to-School party. 

We are establishing a rotation of leadership for the children’s worship time during our regular worship service (about a 20- minute program). We are seeking adults to commit one Sun-day a month to lead our children. Several youth are willing to be assistants. We are trying to establish teams of 2 for leader-ship. Please prayerfully consider this ministry to our children.
