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.
Gratitude Scavenger Hunt
Thanksgiving is almost here – let the gratitude begin! Sometimes that’s easier said than done, so gather your family, go outside, and seek out gratitude by doing a scavenger hunt.
Feed Your Soul
Today is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day! Take this opportunity to feed your soul with some stories of inspiration from the people in your life.
The Angel Tree is Here!
We have officially made the leap from Halloween directly into the Christmas season (or so it would seem from the store displays). And that can mean only one thing: the Wesley-Golden Gate angel tree is back at Desert Mission!
All Saints Day
Today in church we observed All Saints Day. The Methodist tradition encourages us to broaden our idea of who these saints might be, and to honor them through our actions, not just our words. Here’s how you might do that this week.
A Neighborhood Pumpkin Patch
We talk a lot about the importance of loving our neighbors, but we don’t always take the time to cultivate those relationships. Fall is a great opportunity to put your money where your mouth is, as it were, and connect with the folks in your “patch.”
