Our annual Pet Blessing was held on Friday, October 7 with a healthy mix of dogs, cats, turtles, fish, stuffed animals, sunshine, students, parents, music and prayer. In short, all of God's living creatures were blessed! Our adorable first graders (photo above) assisted with the reading of the creation story from Genesis.
Our first Chapel Leadership Team began their term one week ago with a well-done depiction of the story of Esther. This talented group consists of Gillian Cutter, Kit Frazen, Samantha Haisitings, Morgan Ropp, Tommy Sih and Annie Tuttle. Co-captains are Gregory Wiedeman and Dominic Tutera.
Our September service club completed painting rocks that will be placed in our Pocket Park in October. Additionally we made greeting cards for our buddy, Vaughn Reardon.
A monthly intercessory prayer chapel tradition was launched. Once per month we will open the church chapel for the day, inviting individuals to drop by and offer prayer. We will welcome prayer requests and pictures for the altar. Our next intercessory prayer chapel will be held on Tuesday, October 25.
An incredibly helpful evening seminar was offered for parents this past week on "Dealing with Death and Loss" led by Claudia Ricks Hubbard from Children's Mercy Hospital. Lelt me know if you are interested in the hand-outs from the event. Additional sessions will be scheduled if there is enough expressed, committed interest.
