This year’s study [...]]]> For all women:  our monthly circle bible study is resuming following the summer break.  We meet the second Wednesday of each month (in September it’s the 8th) at 10:00 a.m. in the conference room by the church offices.  We enjoy a small snack and a Bible study led by one of our women.

This year’s study topic is: The People of God – Unity in the Midst of Diversity, based on the Book of Faith initiative of the ELCA.  We are brought into intentional conversation around issues that divide us.  Biblical interpretation is at the root of many of our differences and discussion can be a way we learn from each other.  As we discover how others read the Bible, we find new ways to think about it.

All women are welcome.  Our goal is to increase in size so that we need to move into a bigger meeting space.

The kids should bring [...]]]> The confirmation class begins their year, with a fun activity – BOWLING on Friday, September 10th.  We ask that all confirmation kids (grades 6-8)  meet pastor Kathryn at Country Club Bowl, 88 Vivian Street in San Rafael at 7:00 p.m.  If a parent is able to stay with Pr. Kathryn, that would be welcomed.

The kids should bring $15 for shoes, a game and snacks.  Invite a friend to come!

Pick up time at the bowling alley will be 8:30 p.m.

This is the day we kick off our fall church activities.  Our services at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. will be filled with music, Word and Sacrament.  Our choir returns from their summer break and we welcome the presentation of a special liturgical dance.

The children [...]]]> Join us for festive services and activities on September 12th, Rally Sunday.

The children in the Kids of the Kingdom (3 year olds through 5th graders) will particpate in Rally Day activities between the services.  They begin by enjoying the songs that many of them learned during the summer’s Vacation Bible School and then will have fun with games and activities.

Everyone is invited to join us!

The service [...]]]> We had a great time at VBS this week and now we invite YOU to join us for the Closing Celebration Service this Sunday, August 8th at 11:00am.  This worship celebration is a wonderful way for everyone to get together and for the children to share with you things they experienced under the baobab tree.

The service will be filled with songs the children learned.  We will see skits that were presented during the week, and the children will do an African dance that they learned. At Baobab Blast the 2^nd -5^th graders mixed and kneaded bread, which will be our communion bread on Sunday.  Everyone is invited to communion!

The service is followed immediately by a picnic, so we hope you can stay for that.  If you can let us know whether you plan to come, that will be helpful, if you don’t know that’s okay too — you can just show up.

Quilt Raffle: The drawing for the quilt/pillow will take place during the picnic.  (You do not need to be present to win.)  If you have not yet bought tickets and would like to, they will be available this Sunday morning.

Again, we have loved having your children with us this week!  We look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning.
