”Instruments of your peace" Please click at left for a Registration form for this year! Dear Friends, We will begin on Sunday, September 11th at the 9 am service. Once again, we will set up in the Fellowship Hall to receive your registrations. There will be popcorn, balloons, and friendly faces! Children will proceed to their classes as usual after the children’s lesson. If you cannot make it on the 11th, please fill out the attached registration form and mail it to us by the 11th , and we will register your child for you. Registration Sunday is such a joyful time in the life of our church, as we gather together again to begin a new school year. We welcome all children anytime during the school year. You will notice that we changed the name of the program from “Spirit Quest” to "God’s Neighborhood". Kendall and I thought that this name and concept better represents the theology, ideas, and activities of our program. God’s Neighborhood is a wonderful image for the children as they think about Sunday School, their local and broader communities and our world. Our church has a strong sense of mission, and we believe that our young children enjoy participating in many mission based projects. We emphasize that every act of kindness, work of social justice, or practice of earthly conservation has value and is important. Diversity is an important part of our understanding of God’s Neighborhood. We will continue with our Diversity Sundays approximately every 6 weeks. We have lined up several very exciting programs for the fall. We have lots of opportunities for parents to get involved. Parent involvement sends a wonderful message to our children about the importance of Christian education and building faith communities. There are regular weekly opportunities to serve and there are also one–time commitments. I would be happy to talk to you about our program and our areas of need. On Registration Sunday, there will be time to discuss volunteer opportunities with you. I regularly communicate with you through our email system. If you are not getting emails through the “Sunday School Families” email system, and you want to be included in that communication, please send me your email at rtcros@ftcrosby.com. This is the quickest and most cost effective way to communicate with all of you. If you do not have an email and would like to stay in touch with our activities, please let me know, and I will send the email to you by mail.
My very best to all of you, Becky

We are excited about this new year in "God's Neighborhood", and hope that we, together, can nurture our children in their growing Christian faith and their identities as ‘citizens of the world.’
Blessings to you and your family,
