Let’s start our Sunday School and Youth Ministry year off with a bang!

The supplies will be used during our weekly Zoom Sunday School and Youth Ministry programs (see start-up information below).
There will be pizza, drinks, and ice cream offered. You can join us for the dinner portion of our SUPPLY-PALOOZA 2020 and sit at one of the picnic tables or bring your own chairs to use. Or you can just come by and pick up your supplies. We’re happy to give you a to-go dinner!
All CDC safety protocols will be adhered to. Socially distanced spaces will be clearly marked. Wearing a mask (excepting while eating) is required.
PLEASE RSVP so we know how many supply packets to prepare and how much pizza to order; or if you would like to arrange another time to come and pick up your supplies. Register via Realm Register for SUPPLY-PALOOZA 2020 -OR- to Kristen Ketron - kristen.ketron@stmatmidlo.com / 464-1842 ext. 111.

All persons working in our ministries are Safe Church trained. This training fosters a culture of safety and inclusion for all people that includes a broad overview of issues of vulnerability, power, and healthy boundaries. It is grounded in our call to seek and serve Christ in all persons and respect the dignity of every human being. The training provides an opportunity to increase and enhance our ability to live out our Baptismal Covenant within our communities of faith and in the world beyond. Those working with children and youth also undergo a background check.

OTHER RESOURCES
Faith @ Home sends out a weekly set of devotions based on the Revised Common Lectionary. These devotions invite you to engage in the discipleship practice of Reading, Reflecting, and Responding to Scripture in the context of community.
Each one is written for a particular age group pairing, so you can have conversations with everyone, no matter where they're at in life. The Adult and Small Child pairing is designed for preschool students and younger; the Adult and Elementary pairing is for children in elementary (or grade) school.
As this is a growing ministry, we would love your feedback and ideas! You can email us at faithathome@forma.church or contact us via Facebook.

Begin your devotion time by praying this prayer: Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Collects: Contemporary, Book of Common Prayer, p. 234)
