Community Connection
“Family Time” is now Community Connection! While the name has changed, the focus has not: these activities, offered by our Children’s Education Director, are designed to help families remain connected to their faith, community and each other.
Each week, a new activity is introduced during Sunday worship and then posted below. Also, don’t forget to follow Community Connection on Facebook and Instagram.
From Exodus to Emancipation
This week brings Father’s Day as well as Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day. After you’re done expressing gratitude to the father figures in your life, take some time to connect to, and celebrate, the official end of slavery in the United States.
A Time of Transitions
So much is changing! Today we celebrated graduation Sunday AND Pastor Anthony’s time at Desert Mission. In this time of transition, take some time to reflect on and celebrate the past, the present, and the future by playing a brand-new game!
Mother’s Day Joy!
Not only does food provide nutrients, it can also be a source of joy. Sometimes the joy comes from the food itself, but often it’s due to the memories associated with a specific dish or meal, memories that connect us with those we love.
Noticing Joy
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been connecting with and sharing joy. This week, instead of recalling things that bring you joy, discover some new ones with a simple mindfulness exercise.
Generations of Joy
As we continue cultivating and prolonging our Eastertide joy, we invite you to focus on the way joyful activities can create connections across the generations. This week, ask your family, “What brings you joy?”
