Gary will lead a workshop from 9-1 p.m. on Saturday September 15 in Fellowship hall on the subject of "FaithWebbing: How to wrap youth and their families in a web of faith" and "Outcome Based Youth Ministry". This workshop will focus on the many (and surprising) ways we can help shape faith

2 identity in the children in our lives. It is appropriate for youth, parents with children in school, as well as the "faith parents and grandparents" who are a vital part of the "faith web." Please plan to join us and invite others to hear this engaging discussion. Click here to learn more about FaithWebbing. Childcare will be provided for those attending the workshop. Monday Morning Movie The monthly Monday Morning Movies will resume on September 17 at 9:00 a.m. with the viewing of "SULLY". On Jan. 15, 2009, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks) tries to make an emergency landing in New York's Hudson River after US Airways Flight 1549 strikes a flock of geese. Miraculously, all of the 155 passengers and crew survive the harrowing ordeal, and Captain Sullenberger becomes a national hero in the eyes of the public and the media. Despite the accolades, the famed pilot now faces an investigation that threatens to destroy his career and reputation. Come and learn Captain Sully's amazing story. All are welcome - bring a friend! Monthly Youth Group Meetings Sunday, September 16 ALL youth, grades 3-12 will be meeting on the third Sunday of the month at Calvary from 5-6:30 p.m. Dinner will be provided and we will eat as a group in Fellowship Hall. Following dinner we will learn about the Bible topic of the month (with Buck Denver) and then split into two groups (elementary and Middle/High School). In the separate groups we will have time for Highs/Lows, Bible Study Discussion and, of course, games! Friends are welcome and encouraged to join us.
