An update from the pastors, Friday September 17:
Dear Salford family,
If you were at Salford this past Sunday, when second hour classes resumed, you could feel the excitement as teachers and 25 children found their new class locations outdoors. After their first lesson in the fall series, God’s Good Creation, one child said, “I want to come back here every day!” And another child said, “It was really good to see my church friends again. I had a lot of fun.”
Over the summer, Jenn Svetlik and a team of 12 teachers designed children’s classes that were interactive and could meet outdoors for safety. When Sunday came, they were ready, and things flowed smoothly. Parents dropped off and picked up their kids in the oak grove. The kids started with singing, had their lesson and activity, snack, and a game or free play.
And the parents, who have waited a whole year and a half for this opportunity, felt glad. “This was the first time in months that my kids have spent time with others their age, and it was really good for them,” one parent said. Another said, “I am so grateful for a safe and engaging space for my kids to learn about faith with peers this fall.”
Across all age groups, many of us are glad to resume in-person classes. Yet, emotions are mixed, because we had hoped for a more normal kind of homecoming on that first Sunday. Instead, some of us feel able to attend one hour, but not both, and others are still waiting to return. Our circles are not yet complete.
Yet, we walk this path together, in trust, mindful that receptivity to learning is one of Salford’s five core values. And this coming Sunday, the story of Jesus in the temple will help us think about genuine receptivity, and what that means for Salford in this time and place.
Like our children, we can open our senses to the delights of being a joyful learning community eager to live and share the peaceable way of Jesus.
- Pastors Dave Greiser, Beth Yoder and Dorcas Lehman
