WOW! What a great time we had sharing ideas and opportunities to be in ministry—all in a short and sacred commitment to time! Fantastic fellowship as we re-acquainted ourselves with each other. Many ideas and great insights were offered as we seek to move forward in our children’s and youth ministries, providing the best possible Christian discipleship for our young people. And because we are a growing congregation with many different skills of our parents, teacher and congregants, we will do everything we can to affirm and strengthen those spiritual gifts! It indeed was an exciting afternoon. If you have a child or youth, you will want to stay tuned to more of the learnings of our Parent Summit as we create enlivening environments for discipleship. Here are a few areas of discussion we touched upon:
- Reviewing the time of Sunday School/Christian Education offerings for all age levels
- CORE Curriculum development
- Strengthen parental involvement
- Invest in enhancing the learning environment & teacher training with better tools and resources
- Create incentives to increase attendance—many ideas were shared
- Provide more field trips and Big Events
- Help parents deepen their commitment to the Baptismal Covenant
- Increase music opportunities because we KNOW kids [and adults] learn their faith concepts thru music
- Increasing opportunities to develop relationships among students
- Increase hands-on mission opportunities

As part of the continuing worship arts program at St. Paul's, congregant Terri Willis fashioned this cross with individual crosses made by the Sunday School kids with messages and prayers for St.Paul's on the rededication of the Sunday School space.

TITHE=Trust Is The Heart of Everything
We know you want a vital, tangible and visible faith life here at St. Paul's and have great trust that each of you will support your church as a MISSION to the M.O.T. area. One way to do that is the spiritual discipline of TITHING. But tithing is a spiritual discipline which enhances the givers' life more than it enhances God's life. Ask me, your pastor, because I tithe. Is it easy? Not always. Is it necessary? Absolutely. For my spiritual peace of mind. To help order my life towards God. For more information on tithing and personal finances go to http://www.gbod.org/stewardship/
