FOOTHILLS UMC KIDSCONNECT

Hello Foothills UMC KidsConnect families.
We're glad you're here!

Until we can meet in person, let's stay connected electronically. We know this is not a substitute for connecting in person, but we hope it will help you feel connected until we can meet in person again.

Advent Candle Lighting

Each Sunday in Advent, you can celebrate by lighting a candle and reading the accompanying script. Make your own advent wreath using items you have at home.
You can also tune into the online worship services (November 29, December 6, 13, 20 and 24) and light your advent wreath candle(s) as one of our Foothills families lights the candle(s) and does the reading.

Breath Prayer

A spiritual practice is an activity that turns our attention towards having an encounter with the Divine. They are practices geared towards making us aware of God's loving presence.

Practices include prayer, meditation, worship, reading and service to others.

Try adding this "breath prayer" to your spiritual practice.

Quarantine-o-ween!

We want to thank everyone who decorated a trunk this year and to the 130 families who drove through and looked for hidden items and voted for trunks! We gave out 265 goodie bags and families donated 121 pounds of food for the Bethlehem Food Pantry -- WOW!

Mission Possible!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spread the love of Christ in real and practical ways.

Download the Mission Possible sheets from the “envelope” on this website.

You have the entire month of August to complete your mission, but really, you can do them any time during the year!
