After a relaxing and enjoyable summer break, Youth Church is returning THIS Sunday, August 16! As we lean into how to best serve the children and families of New Vision Center, our deepest intention has become very clear: that every child and every family feel supported, connected and loved. With this in mind, we are making a couple of changes to the Youth Church program. First, Youth Church will meet from 9:30-10:00am, so that parents are free to participate in the 10:00am Sunday Service online. Second, we’ll be shifting to more of a Sharing Circle format, with an emphasis on connection and personal expression for each child. We feel that this will better meet the emotional and social needs of our children during this social distancing time. Finally, we’re shifting back to communicating the majority of our Youth & Family news here in the Thursday newsletter, so more families will have access to the information. Please remember, every child ages birth to 12 is welcome in Youth Church. Your grandchildren, neighbor kids or anyone else you know that might benefit from a loving, safe, spiritual environment is more than welcome to join us.
