There are worship “toolkits” to help children engage with worship and “busy bags” for younger children available in the bookcase at the back of the sanctuary. Please feel free to take one to use with/for your children. All are invited to gather for coffee, other drinks, food, and conversation in the social hall after worship.

Community Announcements
Funding Forward Six-Week Summer Book Study, Thursdays through July 30th 7:00 p.m. on Zoom – Join a synod-wide book study on Funding Forward led by Pastor Erin Jones. Drawing on years of teaching, research, and field work, author Grace Duddy Pomroy shows there are no one-size-fits-all solutions for church and nonprofit finances. While the tools and models can spark creativity, congregational leaders often wonder what process they might use to discern God’s mission, which tools will work best in their context, and how they might get other congregational leaders on board. Funding Forward can help ministers and ministries move through the funding forward process from start to finish. You can find the book listen on one site here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/funding-forward-a-pathway-to-more-sustainable-models-for-ministry-grace-duddy-pomroy/416feb17bf664f50.
