An Ode to Joy

Sunday school this week was all about the joy we find in ourselves, our friends, and our church.

A Night to Remember

On October 16, Palmer youth came together to sponsor Kid's Night Out to raise money for the youth mission trip fund. There was pizza, brownies, games and puzzles, football, dancing, a movie, and great memories made. The kids also worked on baby blankets for Great Choirs for Great Causes. The youth will sponsor another Kid's Night Out in the Spring-so stay tuned.

Morning Prayer

If you've seen any parenting magazines you've probably read about the decline of family meal time. We found with this school year that between work and homework, sports and music lessons, there just aren't that many nights we get to sit together as a family and have dinner. We miss our family time! So our family came up with a compromise. Our "family meal" is now breakfast. We are all in the house at that time and we all have to eat, so why not together. Eating together led to the great experience of praying together. It's amazing how different the start of your day becomes when prayer with your family is at the center. I challenge you to try it for a week. Skip hitting the snooze button one more time and have prayer with your family over oatmeal. I promise you won't regret adding it into your routine.

Seeking and Finding

This week was all about the Miracle of Faith; in God, in the church, in the world, and in each other.

All Creatures of Our God and King

The Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 3, was a huge success. Pets and animal friends of all shapes and sizes were blessed on the Palmer playground. Prizes were given to all those that entered the pet contest and prayers and goody bags were made for all those pets that haven't yet found their family of choice. Enjoy the slide show of photos from the event and mark your calendar for next year on the first Saturday of October.

Let all around us be Peace

In the midst of flu and rain and Youth retreats, we looked for and found peace in the Sunday School room. Enjoy.
