Hi Appleton Community EFC Family,
Wow, things have gone crazy in just less than a week. I hope you are all well! Please let me know if you need anything…Prayer, an ear to listen…I can do shopping if you run out of the necessities or if you are not comfortable going to the store. Just know, we are here for you! We are trusting Him. We need to remember that God is in control, and He has a plan through all this uncertainty. As I think about all that is going on in the world I keep coming back to Paul’s words to the Philippians.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7
We are trying to think of ways to help you grow as a family while we are socially distancing ourselves from one another. Here is a tentative plan of how we will help children, youth, and families over the next couple of weeks. Look for more communication soon. If have a specific need for your family please don’t hesitate to ask.
Children
· Continue with weekly Awana books and memory verses
· Sprouts, continue learning about Moses
· Evergreens, watch the sermon with parents (age appropriate questions will be emailed and copies are available in the church lobby during office hours; Tuesday-Friday 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.)
Youth
· Youth Group Sundays at 6:00 p.m. We will be connecting through technology (to make this process work we will need all of the students emails. Please email Lisa or Blake with students email addresses.
· We plan to brainstorm ideas for summer youth activities.
