This will be our first family Sunday. On family Sundays, we all gather, toddlers to elders, for our entire service.

There will be no care downstairs for the kids on Family Sunday. (Exception: Nursery still will be staffed and open)

On these Sundays, we will have a special element in the service designed for the kids. We will aim to keep the service to 60 minutes, and we'll have other activities for the kids throughout the morning. 

Additionally, on October 25th, Isaac and Ashley will be dedicating Miriam to the Lord, we'll be hearing testimonies and having the opportunity to celebrate with Mobin and Nilo as they are baptized. 

Do you remember all the Christmas gifts that we bought last year for inmates? 

On October 25th, Prison Fellowship, who facilitates the Angel Tree program, will have a booth in the cafe after the service.

Do you have questions about how to become involved in jail ministry? Want to learn more about the Angel Tree program and the many other support programs that Prison Fellowship offers? 

I'm hopeful that this visit launches us into participating with Angel Tree again this Christmas.
