Hello @first-name,

Someone was mean to me this week and told me we are now losing daylight, instead of gaining it!! Aggghhh!!! Enjoy every moment of sun while you can!

Spotlight: Summer Fun Events

Mondays - Park Hop - 5:30-8pm - A different playground every week! If there are heavy rains on Monday, 6/29 or 7/6, we will be canceling and not meeting at the church. If needed, it will be announced via Facebook and the Creekside Church app.

Wednesdays - Coffee & Playdate - 10am-12noon - Settler's Bay Playground at 6500 S Settler's Bay Drive, Wasilla, AK

Wednesday, July 29th - Christmas in July - 6-8:30pm - Come watch the Christmas movie The Star with us! Kids need to be accompanied; they cannot be dropped off. Pajamas, blankets, and stuffies welcome! We will have popcorn!

Sunday, August 9th - Family Blueberry Picking - 2-4:30pm - We are joining with the Creekside Youth with berry picking at Reed Lakes Trailhead! Details here!!

Spotlight: Elementary Classrooms

Our elementary classrooms will resume on Sunday, July 12th.
- Fireweed - Entering Kindergarten & 1st grade
- Trees - Entering 2nd & 3rd grade
- Mountains - Entering 4th & 5th grade
- Those entering 6th grade can either volunteer on Sunday mornings or sit with their parents. Creekside Youth does not have programming on Sunday mornings.
Our preschool and elementary classrooms all have the same lessons on a Sunday morning.
When we resume, we will begin our year-long journey through Scripture. We begin with Creation and go through the Old Testament until late November. In late November, we switch to preparing for Jesus' coming in the New Testament. In the spring, we go through the New Testament.
This is our second year through this journey. While we did this last year, THIS year, we are covering different stories. Now Creation, Christ's birth, Jesus' sacrifice/resurrection are always covered, but we will be covering new stories in between the repeating stories.
Why do we repeat our format of "Bible in a Year"? Honestly, we want every child to know the basic Bible stories and how they connect to God's promise, Jesus' fulfillment, and the Spirit breathing life into the Church. When kids leave Creekside Kids, our hope is that they can tell us God's overall story and plan -- not just themes of being kind and stories that are not connected. We want them to leave knowing and being able to tell of God's plan.

Lesson Recap

Our preschoolers have had lessons over the summer! They are learning big themes such as Jesus loves us, wants us to worship Him, and He wants us to be kind to others.

Disciple Making Moment

Are you going crazy chasing your kids through summer events or having them home more during the day? Perhaps you are a parent that doesn't get frazzled with kids all over the place. Blessings to you! However, if you are a parent that has stumbled with grace this summer... Remember there is grace for you! The Spirit will lead you, if you lean into Him. And always, remember to apologize to your kids when you sin against them. You can do this! The art of apologizing will draw you closer to your kids, but also to the Lord.

Please reach out if you have questions, comments, or concerns!

Blessings! Elisabeth Jacobson
