EYC

EYC meets tonight at 6:00 pm.

Last week, we chose our theme for the year: Supporting Yourself. Last year’s theme was Supporting One Another, and this year we’ll focus on helping our youth recognize the amazing individuals they already are.

We’ll kick things off tonight with game night, so bring a football, basketball, or frisbee. If the weather is bad, bring a board game or card game instead. Feel free to bring a friend and come enjoy a fun evening with us.

Confirmation classes continue Sunday, September 6th at 9:15 am in the youth house.

Upcoming EYC Meeting Dates

Sept. 9th - Topic: Self worth. Pick a movie and food for next week

Sept. 16th - Dinner and a movie! Come straight to the Youth House for movie night

Creation Care Altar

at St. Christopher's

A small table will be set up in front of the altar for all of September. You are invited to bring something meaningful that is nature or water-themed to place on the table, such as a plant, stone, shell, feather, driftwood, photo, or a small art piece—anything that is special to you. You can add your item at any time between services throughout the month. We will will announce a pick up date if you wish to take your items back home.

Bulletin Cover Collage

This year, worship bulletins on Saturday, September 26 & Sunday, September 27 will feature a collage of pictures, nature or water-themed, submitted by YOU on the cover!

The collage will offer no indication of who was associated with each photo. But they are not random. They testify to loving relationships with sacred places on 'God's good Earth' and, in turn, with one another.

Email your images to Jessica Boyd communications@scpen.org by Wednesday, September 16 at 8:00 am. (Due to printing deadlines, this date is firm and unfortunately no late submissions will be used.)

Project inspired by a passage in the book "Climate Church, Climate World" by The Rev. Jim Antal
