Fourteenth Sunday aſter Pentecost In the heat of the day, the Holy One appeared at the tent of Abraham and Sarah, and received the hospitality due a desert traveler. That day, they heard a promise: that even in their old age, they would have a child. And although that seemed to them a ridiculous proposion, so it came to be. The child born was named Isaac, which means “laughter.” To enhance your worship experience there are several items available on or near the Usher’s Cart at the entrance of the Sanctuary. Activity bags for children & SPARK Bibles Bibles Children’s bulletins Members and friends are encouraged to utilize the pew Bibles Hearing enhancement devices (available at the sounds booth) that are available in worship.

Check out all our on goings at www.stjohns-annandale.org Parents of Young Children We are so glad you are here and that you brought your children with you! Thank you! We have a few suggestions for your worship experience: Relax! God put the wiggle in children; don ’ t feel you have to suppress it in God ’ s house. It can be helpful to sit toward the front where it is easier for children to see and hear. Sing songs loudly, pray, and voice the responses with enthusiasm. Children learn behavior by copying you. If you are excited about God, they will be, too! There are Story Bibles at the back of the worship space. Your child is welcome to read, look at, and use this Bible. If you would like to take one home, talk to Pastor Dave. Teach children some of the basic prayers. Being able to join in with the prayers helps them feel they are contributing, too. Also, it can be helpful to explain to your child what is happening during the service. To those who are sitting near worshiping parents and children: A smile of encouragement is always welcome to parents with small, active children. Jesus welcomed the little children, and so do we. Whether talking, crying, laughing, or singing, the sounds of children in worship are joyful songs of praise.
