CFD Director’s Message 10.19.22

This week is a relatively busy one for me, with interviewing childcare candidates, planning ahead, and providing care tonight, among other things. While I do not have an elaborate reflection to share here today, the words in the image shared here reminded me of the upcoming tale for all ages. May you know the value in sharing your story! I am wishing you all a good week and hope to see you soon.

 

Nursery care

We now plan to have the nursery open every Sunday during worship and during some of our Wednesday night activities. We are in the process of interviewing and hiring childcare workers. If you know of anyone interested in filling in the gaps with a very part-time, fun job, please reach out to Macey.

A note regarding youth activities:

We will have food and beverage available on the upcoming Wednesday evenings. I have decided to stop creating the RSVP forms for now but do welcome replies via email to help me know who to expect. I’d love to reconnect with you all soon and continue to offer a greater variety of opportunities to get together. If anyone would like to propose additional time for connection and / or another type of activity, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I appreciate collaboration and am happy to do what I can to help make what you’re hoping for happen!

·        OWL for 7-9 grade – Postponed
o  Because we have not yet had enough youth able to participate in the upcoming OWL dates we had proposed, we will be planning to offer a time to sign-up again in early 2023.
