Season of Creation
St A’s Children and Youth Care Conversation!!
When: Sunday October 4th after the 10am service
Where: Fireside Room
What: 3 Questions-
1.) Best use/vision for St Andrew's kids’ zone in Sanctuary
2.) Growing kid/youth participation in services and beyond
3.) Family Eucharist (Messy Church)? How are we communicating care/belonging to our kids and youth.
Our goal is to keep this conversation to 30 minutes and arrange follow on conversations as needed!
ALL WELCOME!
