Youth and Family

Notes from Deacon Lindsay Stertzbach
Director of Youth and Family Ministry

September 17, 2024

Rally Day

A new programming year was kicked-off on September 8 with Rally Day festivities and a teacher/student installation and blessing at both worship services. This year’s theme is

“God’s Kitchen: Ingredients for a Godly Life.” Activities included an opening gathering with music in the sanctuary, a trail mix bar, an egg relay, and decorating personal chef’s aprons/hats. Thank you to the members of the Comprehensive Youth Team for their creativity, planning, and enthusiasm! Rally Day 2024 was a great success and a fun time for everyone, adults included!

Mutual Ministry Q3 Meeting

I met with my Mutual Ministry Committee on September 11 for our third quarter meeting. While our time together was longer than initially anticipated, our conversation was productive and insightful. I continue to be grateful for their support and the ministry we share. We will not meet in the fourth quarter due to my maternity leave.

These were included in my August report, but as a reminder – we have several events coming up for our youth and the congregation:
