School Supplies for the Murphey School
Many kids return to school without the supplies they need. As a church, we want to help meet the needs of those students who don’t have the supplies they need to get a good start for the academic year.
This year, we’re gathering supplies to send to the Murphey School. Most of the kids who live at the Murphey School attend school in the Capital School District (Dover). We can’t supply an exact list since they attend a variety of the schools within the District. Many people focus on the supplies needed for younger kids and older kids (middle school and high school) don’t get enough supplies donated. Please consider picking supplies from the lists for the middle and high schools (Dover High School, Central Middle School William Henry Middle School). Most stores have lists available to help with your shopping.
If you want to contribute, simply drop supplies off at our worship gathering on Sunday. Or contact us to let us know when you want to drop off supplies during the week.
For more information contact us or see Julie Memmolo on Sunday!
Start or Join a Group
As summer ends, kids go back to school and many of us try new things…like leading a small group!
While it may seem a big task, it’s really as simple as finding a convenient time to meet and using some questions to steer the conversation in a direction that helps people grow spiritually. If you want to form a Community Group but want a little more training, you can “intern” at mine to see how to do it. If you want to form a Discipleship Group, join us to see how to do it–it’s probably easier than you think. I will make myself available to help you start for the first couple of meetings, help you get the right tools to make discussions easy and support you as you lead.
If you’re interested in leading a group, talk to me on a Sunday, contact me or comment below. I’ll help guide you through the process of getting started.
Look for more groups in the near future!

Kids God Time Sheets & Monthly Parent Cue (August 3 and 10)
Each month we supply a Parent Cue for parents and a weekly God Time sheet for kids. We post the monthly Parent Cue discussion sheet and the week’s God Time exercise for the lesson that was taught this Sunday. Copies of these are also available on the welcome table as you enter the main worship space. Or, for your convenience, you can download them below. Interested in the teaching plan? Check out June’s theme here.
Parent Cue Discussion Spiritual Discussion Starter Sheet
For this month: August 2014 Parent Cue.
God Time Quiet Time Exercise for Kids
For the lesson from this Sunday God Time August 3.
Looking forward to next week’s? Check out the one for God Time August 10.
What’s the deal with these anyway? Our goal as a church is provide you with resources to help your children grow spiritually. We’re doing our best to make things simple and easy. Please feel free to give us feedback on this!
- The Parent Cue is meant to be a resource for you to discuss and reinforce the lesson with your kids. The monthly sheet contains discussion questions for each week. They are designed to help you understand what your kids are learning and talk with your kids about spiritual principles in a relaxed way. They make great dinner conversation!
- The God Time is intended to help kids learn to spend some quiet time with God on their own so they learn to grow spiritually and begin to take responsibility for doing spiritual things on their own. (Of course, they can be fun to do as a family and you’re welcome to help them and model it for them as they learn!)
