Faith Milestone Ministry
 
Milestones Ministry provides a faith milestone as a marker along life’s journey that says, “This is something important, and God is here, too.” It is a faith formation practice for both home and congregation that helps all generations recognize God’s presence in everyday life. The Faith Milestones for 2021-2022 include: 

Parents/caregivers and children attend these Faith Milestone events together.  Adults and children receive a blessing during worship, and we meet as a group from 10-11 am.

Meets During Worship
NEW: Starting February 27-May 4
Kids are always welcome in worship, onsite or online.  Starting February 27, for those attending worship onsite, Sunday School will be held during worship (not from 10-10:45 am). We will also post a Bible reading for the day and Children’s bulletin resources on the First English website’s Children and Family page here: 
 
How will Sunday School During Worship Work?
Children and their parents or caregivers will start in worship. The children’s message will introduce the lesson and when done, kids will follow the leader out of worship for Sunday School. There they will sing, learn the Bible story, and dig into the story through games, experiments, or other activities. Children will return to sit with their parents/caregivers at the passing of the peace.
 
Special Ministries
One Sunday per month an all-ages activity is held following worship. 
Sunday, March 20 | Psalm 23 | All Ages
10-10:45 am | Fellowship Hall |
Parents, guardians, friends – all ages are welcome to gather with us following worship. Psalm 23 is the focus of Wednesday Lenten services this year and we will learn more about this Psalm together. Sunday School will meet during worship and this time after worship will be designed for all ages to participate. Children will learn from adults and adults from children in this interactive event. This will also be Pastor Mike Zaske’s first Sunday with us.
