FAITH UPDATE – September 4, 2012
Hello Faith Covenant Family!
Do you feel that thing in the air? Not the crispness of fall (though that’s pretty great, too), but the energy and excitement of a new school year. As the son of a teacher and a career-long youth worker, I’ve always lived my life and schedule alongside student schedules, so maybe I’m biased. But this time of year, more than any other time, seems to be a time of excitement, new beginnings, and palpable hope. Or maybe it’s just because football season is starting…
THIS SUNDAY (SEPTEMBER 9)
A reminder that this Sunday is Burnsville Firemuster, and Faith Covenant will be leading the community-wide worship service at 10:30am at Civic Center Park. You can worship at Faith Covenant at 9am and then walk across the street to Civic Center Park to worship with the greater Burnsville community. After worship, bring your lunch and a folding chair to watch the Fire Muster Parade (1pm) from Faith’s parking lot.
FALL KICKOFF AND OPEN HOUSE FOR ALL WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAMMING
All families with students in Wednesday night programming (of any age), as well as any adults taking one of our Wednesday night classes: please be sure to join us Sept 12 (next Wednesday) for our shared worship time at 6:30pm in the sanctuary. After spending about 20-30 minutes together, we will then have opportunities for you to hear everything you need to know for your elementary, middle, or high school student for this year, or to learn more about your class. I hope we see you there!
