The crisp cool air of fall is upon us! It’s exciting to start a new season! We in the children’s department are excited to be starting a new curriculum soon too! We will be finishing up our study of the Fruits of the Spirit and on October 23 will be starting a new curriculum! We are looking forward to seeing what God has to teach us this year.

We have another reason to be excited; Family Fun Hour on October 30. The 10:00 hour of the last Sunday in October promises to deliver another great family fun opportunity. We will be having a Fall Family Fun Party. There will be lots of autumn games and activities. Watch for details and sign-up sheets so you don’t miss out! Remember families of all ages and sizes are welcome to party with us!

Don’t forget we have our Bible Studies meeting at 10:00 each Sunday. Trudy McConnell and her fisher-boys and girls have a great time getting to know the Bible a little better each week. Any child ages 5-2^nd grade is welcome to join them in Room F. For the older children, Nancy Van Allen and Jennifer and Ryan Gallagher meet with the 3^rd-5^th graders in Room L. This year the 3^rd graders get to join the 4^th and 5^th grade kids and get a sneak peek at the SWAT group’s fun.

As we look forward to a fresh start with our curriculum, reorganization of our Children’s Worship room, and new children being promoted into our groups, I invite all in our church family to stop by or join us any Sunday in rooms F, K and L at 8:45, 10:00, and 11:00. We are always looking for loving, dedicated people to help guide the young people of St. Paul; if you are interested in joining the children’s ministry more permanently and having a hand in shaping St. Paul’s future leaders, please speak with me or any of our wonderful volunteers!

Wishing you a fall full of color,

Shari Miller
