Some amazing things are happening in the children's area in the front of the sanctuary on Sunday mornings. Seen in worship on Sunday, September 28, during the offering:
It used to be children at the McFarland United Church of Christ left worship after only 15 minutes. In recent years, they would depart for Sunday School after children’s time. Not anymore.
This fall, children will join adult worshippers for the entire service and Sunday school sessions will be put on hold. Understanding that we learn through hearing and doing, the church has established an activity zone in the sanctuary for those who need to keep their hands busy as they listen and learn. Wendy Abel, moderator of the congregation, said the concept promotes the importance of cross+generational relationships. This spring, the confirmation class spent time with two questions: What is the Good News of Jesus Christ? and How Does Jesus Change Everything? Here are their most recent answers... Do you struggle to find the words to talk about your faith? To speak with children, spouse, colleagues or friends about what matters to you?
Join us for some Faith Talk on Wednesday evenings in March and April. No need to be intimidated - caring conversations rooted in faith don't require fancy words or concepts. We'll offer some simple tools - and a chance to practice with them. Time: 5:45 -7:00 pm (ish) Dates: March 5, 12,19,26 April 2 & 9 Dinner will be provided. If you plan to come, let us know, so we can prepare for you. Guests are welcome! RSVP to Pastor Kerri, pastor@mcfarlanducc.org
