LCPC October Kids Night ~ Monsters vs. Aliens

LCPC October Kids Night (grades 1-5)

Monsters Vs. Aliens

Friday,October 16th

5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

 

This month's Kids Night is a field trip for children in the first through fifth grades!  We're heading down the street to hang out at Meadowbrook Community Center for their Popcorn & a Movie night. The featured film is "Monsters vs. Aliens". 

The movie starts at 6pm. So we need children to meet at Lake City Pres at 5:30 p.m. to carpool over. Seem that it is approx. 94 mins in length, so I'm figuring we'll be back to the church and ready to go home by 8:30 p.m.  Friends are welcome so long they are also in grades 1-5.

PLEASE RSVP for your children & any friends by Thursday 10/15 so we can arrange for appropriate transportation for your child and any friends. Also, if you (parents) are interested in joining us and helping out with carpooling please let me know.

Also please, for your child or any friends attending, fill out a Medical Authorization Form if one has not already been filled out. Click the link, copy and paste into a Word Document, print, fill out, and bring to the move night so that we can have it on record in case of emergency. 

In Christ,

Invitation to Seeds of Compassion - Compassion Action Network

Just want to pass this information along about the Compassionate Action Network (interfaith, inter-organization) in case anyone is interested in attending. ~ Leena Prindle

October 2009 DEAR SEEDS FRIENDS, REMINDER: Connecting for Compassionate Action THIS Saturday Seattle Center at 8:30 AM We are looking forward to Connecting for Compassionate Action this Saturday at 8:30am in the Seattle Center’s Fisher Pavilion. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama attended Seeds of Compassion in Seattle last year and the Vancouver Peace Summit this September. These visits have inspired individuals and organizations to take action to awaken compassion in our children, ourselves, and our world. The Compassionate Action Network, Seeds of Compassion, and Bellingham Compassion Movement invite you to attend a gathering at the Seattle Center on October 17, 2009. The Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education from Vancouver BC will also participate in the event. Rather than listening to presentations and speeches, participants will share their gifts in an open space format. This will allow attendees to convene and attend sessions in the spirit of community discovery, exploration, and collaboration. Participants will self-organize around the following question: "How shall we inspire and support compassionate action in ourselves, our communities, and our world?" Participants will: Engage with other leaders that share common goals. Discover and promote actions for awakening compassion in business, education, environment, economics, healthcare, peace, social justice, and/or other areas. Share community engagement strategies. Strengthen and develop a local, regional, and global network. Enjoy music, art, dance, stories, and food. RSVP: Join our social network at www.compassionateactionnetwork.com or email Jon Ramer atjramer@interraproject.org or call (206) 526-2323. A suggested donation of $10.00 will help cover the event costs. We hope to see you there. Daniel Kranzler Co-Founder Seeds of Compassion The Compassionate Action Network (CAN) is a recently established 501c3 network of self-organizing groups that share a common vision for a compassionate world.

Blessing for the New School Year

"Blessing for the New School Year"
Excerpted from "For Everything A Season: 75 Blessings for Daily Life" by the Nilsen Family 

Prayer: Gracious God, you have promised to keep us safe and holy. Be present with (Name) during this time of preparation for school tomorrow. Give (name) an open and eager mind. Protect all your children from temptation, and guide them with your love. Amen.

Bible Text: (Name), the Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. - Psalm 121:8

Reflection: Invite those gathered (both parents and children) to share their thoughts and feelings about the new school year by finishing these sentences:
* I'm scared about...
* I'm worried about ...
* I'm excited about ...

Ritual Action: Parents and/or others not beginning school, make the sign of the cross on the forehead of the child going to school while saying these words: (Name), Jesus is with you wherever you go. Then have the child going to school place a Christian symbol (cross or other symbol) in the backpack or book bag as an ongoing reminder that Jesus is always present.

Amen.
