Children & Family Ministry Listening Sessions
2024-07-21 11:00 - 12:30, 2024-07-29 18:00 - 19:30
We are listening to God’s Spirit and to parents/grandparents this summer as we evaluate our Children & Family Ministry here at ELPC and make plans for the fall. We’ve heard that being part of community, knowing God loves us all, doing justice work, having a space for questions about life and faith, and sharing sacred stories are just some of the reasons families choose to be part of ELPC. We want to know what is important about church for YOUR family. We want to make sure the “when, where, and how” of our programing makes sense for today’s families. And we want to know how we can support YOU and your kids!
We hope families with children in grade 6 and under younger will join us for a conversation about our Children & Family Ministry over some Chipotle in the Nursery Suite this summer. Please let Sara Hackett know if you can join us! (There will be food for everyone and kids are welcome to hang out and play.)
Join us following worship on Sunday, July 21, 11 am–12:30 pm, or on Monday, July 29, 6–7:30 pm.
