Join us for our second Sunday in the Boys & Girls Club at 10am! We're excited to see what God will do in and through our church in this season and who He might bring along. This is a great time for you to jump in with us! All kids will start with adults in the gym for a few songs and welcome before 9mo-8years will be checked in to Sprouts. Older kids will join us for our main teaching in the gym with coloring sheets provided on the side tables. We'll be jumping into the book of Philippians together for the next several weeks. This week we'll be in Phil. 1:3-6 studying Fighting for Joy Together! Give it a read beforehand to prepare.

You Bring:
1. Camp chair (TGians, please plan to sit closer to the "stage" this week to help provide space in the back for visitors #practicalhospitality. We'll be rotated 90 degrees right this week, under the far basketball goal FYI.)
2. Face mask
3. Bible, pen or pencil, and something to take notes on
4. A neighbor and/or friend!

Covid Protocol:
If you're feeling sick please stay home! We won't be checking temps this week; we'll trust individuals and families to be aware and follow the Covid Guidelines: if you feel unwell or have any of the following symptoms please stay home and contact your health care provider: fever (above 100.4F), cough, or shortness of breath. When in doubt, play it safe and tune in online!

Virtual Options:
We'll be on Zoom (password required from a Tallgrassian or via email 24 hours in advance) and Facebook Live. So jump in either way and make sure to engage with the chat and comments sections by checking in and shooting out thoughts and questions. Last week we didn't get a couple settings right on the Zoom Machine so audio was rough. Our apologies! It should all be fixed this week.

AFTER CG KIDS PLAN FROM ELISHA

I did not do a good job of setting up expectations with my little kids before church last week. The result was a little bit too much fun being had running around after CG. That’s what I noticed, and I’m taking steps to help my kids know what the expectations are for this coming Sunday at the Boys and Girls Club. 

I’m having a series of conversations with my littles about these things they CAN DO after church:

• Walking inside
• Using inside voices
• Being respectful of our space and of others
• Having fun with friends AND being safe. 
• Making wise choices
• Listening to mom and dad the first time. 
• Also, making it clear that there is no playing tag indoors 👍. I know that's a bummer 😩. 

In Sprouts I plan to go over behavioral expectations with all my Sprouts kids before church ends. This will hopefully support you as well.

PUMPKINS THIS SUNDAY
I’m providing baby pumpkins 🎃 and lots of foam stickers/googly eyes for kids to decorate them with **after CG this week**. Hopefully all of us parents can socialize with each other as we mildly supervise our kids decorating pumpkins.
