20s/30s Connection changes name to Congregation
Connections
To reflect the fact that the group now invites adults of all ages to
participate, rather than just those in their 20s or 30s, we have
changed the name of the group. Instead of the 20s/30s Connection,
it is now called Congregation Connections. So, please spread the
word and let people know that adults of all ages are welcome!!!
Details on each event will come as each date gets
closer. As always, family and friends are always welcome at any
Congregation Connections event, and you can always email me (rpwildman@yahoo.com) for more information
on any event or the group. Blessings,Rachel

Abbey will meet at 9 and 11 a.m. on June 7th, and then take

want you to forget us during the summer vacation time, so on-the-go,
family-oriented fun projects have been prepared and will
be e-mailed at the beginning of June, July, and August.
These mailings will offer families the opportunity to be worshipful
together in unique ways while on vacation or just relaxing from their
usual busy schedules. If you would like to receive these
e-mails, please contact Donna Devlin at: childrensabbey@saintsaviour.org
There is no charge for these e-mails and you do not need to be a
regular attendee of Children's Abbey to receive them. Sign up now or
