SUMMARY:A Little Shopping\, a Lot of Christmas Joy
DESCRIPTION:There’s something special about choosing a gift\, wrapping it\, and keeping it a surprise until Christmas. At the 18th Annual Material Girls Children’s Christmas Bazaar\, children get to do just that while discovering that a thoughtful gift doesn’t have to cost much. \nChelsea First United Methodist Church will host the bazaar during Hometown Holidays on Saturday\, December 5\, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Handcrafted gifts from the Material Girls and local artisans cost $1–$5\, and all profits go to Faith in Action to support local families. \nHave a young shopper? Children age 4 through sixth grade can reserve a 30-minute shopping appointment. Parents and caregivers fill out a shopping envelope with a gift list and budget\, then Youth Buddies guide children through choosing\, wrapping\, and paying for their gifts. Only Youth Buddies accompany children into the shopping rooms at Saturday’s bazaar. Cash or checks only. \nReserve a Shopping Time → Sign up Here \nWant to be a Youth Buddy? Volunteers in sixth grade and older help younger shoppers find and wrap gifts. First-time buddies are especially welcome\, and friends can each sign up to help. Please choose one shift for now so more youth have a chance to volunteer. Buddies may shop before or after their shift. \nSign Up to Be a Youth Buddy → Sign up Here

SUMMARY:Parenting Group
DESCRIPTION:For Parents & Caregivers \nParenting takes a village—and we’re grateful to have one! This fall\, we invite all parents and caregivers to join our Parenting Group\, a welcoming space to talk\, listen\, share\, learn\, laugh\, and support one another through the joys and challenges of parenting. \nThis fall\, we’ll explore When Kids Ask Hard Questions\, Volume 2: Faith-Filled Responses for Tough Topics\, edited by Bromleigh McCleneghan and Karen Ware Jackson. \nThis thoughtful collection brings together a variety of short essays from different voices\, offering faith-filled perspectives and practical wisdom for responding when children and teens ask difficult\, complicated\, or unexpected questions. Together\, we’ll reflect\, share our experiences\, and consider how we can create spaces where young people feel safe asking questions and exploring their faith. \nWhat makes this group especially wonderful is the community we have created together—a community grounded in trust\, care\, encouragement\, and the reminder that none of us has to do this alone. \nMondays | 6:30–7:30 PM \nFall Meeting Dates:\nSeptember 14\, 21\, 28\nOctober 5\, 12\, 26\nNovember 2\,16\, 23\, 30\nDecember 7 \n Childcare Provided! \nBring your questions\, your stories\, your successes\, your struggles—and come as you are. Childcare is provided\, so you can have this time to connect and recharge. \n Can’t Join Us In Person? \nNo problem! We’d love to have you join us from wherever you are. If you’d like to participate but can’t be physically present\, just let Susan know and we’ll make sure you receive the Zoom link. \nCome be part of our parenting village this fall! We look forward to growing\, learning\, and supporting one another along the way
