"Mass" Confusion

With apologies for the delay in posting these details for this Sunday (car trouble, modem problems and a touch of a summer/autumn illness conspired against me the past few days), here is what's happening.

At Appin, the start of Funday School begins as we trace the journey of Jesus Christ Superstar, beginning with his toddler/newborn exodus into Egypt. This Sunday features a pony ride, my kids are very excited about that!

At Trinity, the Super Sunday School Start-Up Service will begin with the service beginning downstairs of the church where some conversation and nametag-making will happen within the structure of the worship service. A lunch will be provided after worship.

I've been reconsidering the flow of the worship service itself over the summer, and taking to heart the comments that we, as a congregation, don't know each other very well - across the generations, or even across the aisles - I will work to try and build stronger connections through conversation and discussion as part of the worship experience.

It will be rather chaotic at first, but I promise that we'll find a workable routine in due time. Maybe not this month, because it's always hectic in September, but soon. I welcome any concerns or questions that you may have; and thank you for your graciousness and patience as we seek to engage the spiritual needs of today with respect for the traditions of yesterday.

See you tomorrow!?
