Young Families Ministry Cookout
Sunday, April 21, 2013
After the 11 o'clock Service (approximately 12:30 p.m.)
Lunch will be provided! Just bring yourselves and come dressed ready to play.
Weather permitting, we'll be in the playground/park area across from the church (by the pastors' house). If the weather's bad, we'll be in the Fellowship Hall downstairs, so feel free to bring a favorite family game or movie.
This is a chance to have some fun together, get to know each other, and decide how often we'd like to get together and what we'd like to do!
All are welcome!!!

New Young Families Study begins April 21!
It’s a real problem: the earth is being damaged by our human activity. Christians have a complex relationship with God's creation. We have tangled up our concepts of dominion and stewardship. Many imagine that eternal life means being whisked away to some other non-physical plane in the ether. In trying to be God-focused, we have become heaven-focused, at the expense of our earthly home. Can the Bible and our faith tradition help us rethink those relationships? Is there a model for care of the creation that doesn't force us to the polarized margins? “EarthBound: Created + Called To Care for Creation,” a cutting-edge series filmed in high definition, is a journey beyond the rhetoric into God's rich and complex creation. Beginning Earth Day, April 21, it will be the centerpiece of the Young Families Study, an informal time of study and conversation at 9:30 a.m. in the Smith Building (the small white building behind the church). Discover the origins of our misconceptions about scripture's portrayal of crea-tion. Recognize God's call to us to relate to the whole creation as our vocation, and experience how God's people throughout the church are living out that call. Come join us! All are welcome!
