PJ’S & PIZZA

On Oct 18th from, 3-4:15 we had our first event since March. We were outside on the lawn and in the vestry. Our bible story was a lesson from Abraham and Sarah who had to wait a long time for their son, just as we have to wait a long time for many things due to the pandemic. We read Not Forever But For Now: A Story for Children about Feelings During the Pandemic, which was helpful as families struggle at times to answer children’s questions and concerns. If you are aware of families with this concern, we do have books to recommend. In November, Pj’s & Pizza will be a mailed event (minus the pizza!), and we will focus on Thanksgiving.

THE SCENE

The SCENE lucked out again for our second meeting of the year on October 15 with a beautiful, warm, and sunny afternoon. With 10 kids in attendance and staying on our socially distanced circles, we enjoyed some conversation about our quote of the month “You are always responsible for how you act, no matter how you feel” (good advice for all of us!), shared our highs and lows, played some games, had a snack (thanks to Amber Lane for providing our snack), and then took a walk picking up trash around the church lawn and Butler Park.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 19 (3:30- 4:30) and we are hoping for another glorious sunny afternoon. If you know of children in grades 1-5 who might like to join us, please let either Barbara Daley or Jean Crowley know about them – we would love to have even more new members.
