Youth Programming

Junior Forum (5 PM) and Forum (6:30 PM) will consider how we can honor and celebrate the people and animals who have come before us and are no longer with us. We will learn about All Saints & All Souls and make an altar of prayerful remembrance.

Please remember them when you are next out shopping for food; one or two extra items that you can purchase and donate each week can truly make a big difference for these families. The RED WAGON is located in the hallway across from the office. The other RED WAGON is stationed at the vestibule on Sunday mornings.

We know how generous our community is, and the members of the Mission and Outreach group are so fortunate to be a part of this congregation, spreading the love you share across the community. Thank you all so much.

Stepping Stones Adventures is returning on Tuesday, November 3rd 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM for a FREE morning of fun for the teacher pd day.

Spots are limited so sign up today!

Please join us on the Town Common where we will swing, celebrate and give thanks for all of God’s creatures, blessing our animal companions. We welcome all pets—furry, scaly, hairy, feathery and even plush! Photos of beloved pet companions are welcome in place of those who can’t be there. And a special seating section will be set aside for those who are more comfortable sitting away from the animals.

To serenade both congregation and pets, FCCW’s own house band will offer jazz music before, during and after the service. We will sing and move and praise all of creation with fun and upbeat music, readings, prayers and blessings. From “Amazing Grace” to “All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir,” there will be an opportunity to sing, to listen and to share our cherished pet companions.

How do we bring faith into our everyday family life—beyond Sunday morning? Join us after church on Sunday, October 25th, for Bringing Faith Home, a fun and interactive workshop for families of all ages.

We’ll share ideas, talk about family traditions and experiences, and try some simple, meaningful practices that you can take home and try with your family.

Lunch will be provided, and childcare will be available!

Please RSVP so we know we have enough families to make the workshop possible and can plan for lunch and childcare. We hope you’ll join us for a relaxed time of conversation, connection, and inspiration!

• Please complete your child’s registration form using the link below. It helps us make sure we have the information we need to make Sunday mornings great for everyone.
