PLUGGED INTO OTHERS

FIND IT IN THE BIBLE ~ WEEKLY SCRIPTURE READINGS:

Psalm 82:1-8

Ephesians 4:1-16

With school, sports and other activities, there’s A LOT TO DO. We’re going to REFLECT about being “PLUGGED IN” and make sure that we’re filling our lives with COMMUNITY, PURPOSE and SERVICE TO OTHERS. The WORLD has never been more CONNECTED, and yet FEELINGS OF ISOLATION and LONELINESS are at an ALL-TIME HIGH. YOU have a PLACE and YOU are ALWAYS welcome in our COMMUNITY!

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 82, Psalm 1-8 - New International Reader's Version

A psalm of Asaph. God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders. He announces his decisions among them. He says, "How long will you stand up for those who aren't fair to others? How long will you show mercy to sinful people?

Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 4:1-16 - New International Reader's Version

Growing Up Together in the Body of Christ - I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for. Don't be proud at all. Be completely gentle. Be patient. Put up with one another in love.

PINEYS at PLAY ~ FOREST PLAY GROUP

Contact: Felicia Lisitski with Questions

PINEYS at PLAY meets on the FIRST and THIRD WEDNESDAYS in BATSTO VILLAGE at 10:00 AM. Parents are encouraged to bring their littles AGE 0-12 for ADVENTURES!

FROM FELICIA: I’m beyond excited to officially announce I’ll be starting up a playgroup this June! Pineys at Play - A Forest Playgroup is a FREE playgroup for children (ages 0-12) to gather, explore in nature, and for caregivers to connect, all while spending time outdoors with the community! Each week, we will go on a short hike in the pine barrens. The children will enjoy using their whole bodies to explore the forest by stepping over logs, collecting pine cones, and navigating the trails. After our hike, we will enjoy a snack before child-led free play. This may vary week to week, especially as the children learn the park and discover new activities like skipping rocks, building with natural materials, and rolling down hills—just being kids! Play clothes are recommended for this messy fun. Some weeks, additional materials like buckets, spoons, and magnifying glasses will be provided to spark imagination and curiosity. The playgroup will be held rain or shine every first and third Wednesday of the month. Dress accordingly for the weather. Please message for meeting details and let the forest adventures begin!
