Be the Light! That's our theme for the new program year!
And it's turning into the theme for our fall refurbishing of what is affectionately being called the "Formation Zone".
Oh, yes, we're going all out to create a space for all our youth formation programs that reflect the holy Light that each child brings into the building and takes out into the world. Our parents are pretty shiny, too! (grin) God has great plans for us!
So at the still-blue end of the hall - the Activity Room - our youngest members will share formation time, including the nursery for babes-in-arms and toddlers. PK - 2nd graders will team up with our awesome UD Team, Emily and Shelice! Music, art, story and more, all centered around the Lectionary appointed for the day! These girls are awesome with SO much to share!
On down the hall, in the Godly Play room, 3rd - 5th graders will "Learn Your Bible" each week, complete wit the gift of a new Bible and ribbons to mark particular spots for revisiting. Children may have a few minutes to play with Godly Play story sets before heading upstairs for Children's Chapel at 10:30! That takes place in our Chapel of the Holy Spirit - such a beautiful space for learning!
A little further down: the junior high room for 6th, 7th and 8th graders! Cool comfort and fabulous conversation, drama (the good kind) and a wonderful new collaboration with Canterbury Court, to be realized outside the Sunday morning timeframe! Just you wait! More info on that will come soon!
Then passed this awesome mural, to be completed by our youth, and on to the PaulPit where our teens will share time between Lectionary/Real World conversations and Faith in Action, our regular mission work in Dayton, motivated by our 7 year commitment to summer mission in Tennessee!
It's all Light. It's all St. Paulight!
Huge thanks to Ms. Labrie and Ms. Smolka for their work on this awesome space! So dang cool!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on October 5th!!!
