 Fall Kid's Creek Schedule
This fall
Kid's Creek will be moving to one service only at 11:15 AM. This decision
was recommended by the Board of Stewards and affirmed by the Team
Leaders. It is in response to the fewer number of families taking
advantage of Kid's Creek in the first service and the smaller volunteer
pool for this ministry. We are looking forward to offering one excellent
opportunity for our children to grow, and look forward to the day when
the new bunch of infants and young families currently in our church and
new families who join our church in the future grow old enough and big
enough for us to need to move back to offering Kid's Creek in both
services. In the mean time, nursery will continue to be provided at both
services for ages infant to 3 years old.
Kid's Creek Kickoff
Kid's
Creek kicks off on Sunday, September 11th. Pre-schoolers will enjoy new
episodes from Lil' K. K-5th Graders will experience "What's in the
Bible." We begin receiving children at 11am at the Registration
Table for the 11:15 service.
Fall forms
are available at the Kid's Creek table. Pick yours up on Sunday!

Get REV'd Up! 
CALLING ALL YOUTH: SCC's youth
ministry, Student Revolution (StuREV), is gearing up for a rockin' fall
term! We'll kick off on September 11 during the 11:15 service with a
"get to know you" day (a great time to bring a friend!) as we
begin a new year and a new journey together. Then, join us on Sundays
this fall and winter to take a look through a biblical lens at the latest
music, movies, news and current events, and to enjoy time together as we
seek authentic life in Christ.

Series
at SCC
 Life for Dummies
(July 31st Six
Weeks)
Sometimes lessons for life just need to be simple, like a
story. Jesus understood that stories can communicate complicated truths
in a simple way that nothing else can, so he told stories all the time.
These stories help give shape to the deepest yearnings of our lives. How
do we live? What do we do? Who are we? Come listen and learn from the
master story teller, Jesus.

Local Missions
SCC is a church that wants to develop
friendships within our community. Through local friendships, or missions,
we seek to meet the physical and spiritual needs of our community. In
order to begin to meet those needs, we need to be aware of them. One of
our small groups, led by Sarah Arthur, help serve dinner at Maplewood on the
first Saturday of each month. they arrive by
5:30pm and serve two shifts, then help wit cleanup or childcare until 8pm.
If you would like to help out please contact Patricia Alderman.
Sarah's group
has also, offered to help the women of the shelter when the transition
from there to a place of their own. They help supply household items they
need (secondhand mostly, but they also provide paper products, cleaning
supplies, etc.). If you would like to help with this ministry contact Sarah Arthur and she
will let you know when opportunities come up.
