Saddle up your horses and load the wagons, we’re following God’s call to Texas.

As we learn about Anna Palm and her family moving from Sweden to Round

Rock, Texas, we also learn about the journeys some of the Bible’s families took as

they followed God’s unfolding plan. Kids will learn God is with us when it is time

to go, when it is time to wait, when times are scary, when times are sad, and when

it’s time to share the Good News.

Speaking of sharing the Good News, we’ve had to get creative this year, so we are

using a combination of videos, Facebook Live, Zoom groups, and live play dates

for small groups at the church.

Volunteers—We are always seeking volunteers to make our VBS a success! We

encourage older children and adults to volunteer before and/or during VBS week.

There are many opportunities available even as we go virtual for the first time ever.

Registration—To register your children and/or to volunteer, use your app or go to our website. The first

100 local kids to register will receive a free t-shirt and craft supplies. All other participants will have access to our

digital resources.

My story of HOPE…

On Monday, March 16th, I

was told I was an

“essential employee,” and

that I must report to work

despite the fact that we

were closed. It was kind of

frustrating knowing that I had to venture out each day

and my friends and family were all able to work from

home in their P.J.’s.

I work in Parks and Recreation, for the City of

Georgetown and I believe that Parks and Recreation is

as essential of a service as police and fire in our

communities today. I believe parks and recreation can

provide people and families so much opportunity to

connect with each other, themselves individually, their

community and most importantly, with God. After the

steam of frustration began wearing off, and my work

days continued to grow slower by the moment, I

decided to switch my focus and use this time as an

opportunity. I reached out to some colleagues to find

out how their department was handling this whole

situation. Through conversations and some reflection,

I have discovered what it means to be an “essential

employee.” Parks and recreation has always been

essential to communities, and it is actually more

essential right now, and will be even more in the

future.

I have begun writing an article about parks and

recreation, why it is essential to our health and how

this industry will help bring communities back. I

reached out to some of the top professionals in the

industry and had amazing conversations and learned a

great deal from these people. Their wisdom and

knowledge and ability to remain

positive about future

opportunity was so

enlightening. Although the

article is not yet complete, I am

excited to share a message of

hope to people inside and

outside of parks and recreation,

that we are altogether essential.

Thank you notes from members:

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for all the wonderful

birthday wishes! During this time of isolation,

it was a most welcome treat to be remembered

by so many with cards and e-mails.

I look forward to the day when we can all be

together again. Until then, take care.

God bless you.
