Parents, kids grades kindergarten through 5th will have the opportunity to participate in mid-week programming we call Roots. This will be a weekly commitment that runs throughout the school year. Join us for a time of extended children’s programming that includes worship, games, and small group sessions geared for your child to dig deeper and get rooted in who they are in Christ.
Roots will take place every Wednesday beginning September 11 until May 21, from 6:30PM - 7:45PM in the Elementary Lower Level space.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are in need of small group leaders and helpers for Roots- If you are interested in having fun with us Wednesday nights, register below.
PARENTS!
Community is important not just for your kids, but for you as well! That is why we offer a parent’s Small Group on Wednesday evenings while your kids are gathering for Roots and Pathways Students. After you drop off your kiddo(s), come hang out in the Family Room from 6:30-7:45PM – it is a convenient way to connect with other parents without adding to your busy schedule. No registration is necessary – just show up when you can!

Child Dedication
A child is a God-given trust (Psalm 127:3) and Child Dedication is a ceremony that signifies a parent’s commitment and pledge to uphold that trust by raising their child in a Christian home and church where he or she can come to know, love and serve Jesus. It also signifies a commitment by the people of Pathways Church to provide a loving, biblical community that supports and prays for your family.
If you have trusted in Christ as your Savior and want to make a public declaration that you will do your best to raise your child according to God’s Word (Deut 6:5-8), you are invited to participate in our Child Dedication Celebration.
Registration for the November Child Dedication is now closed. To be added to the list for the May Child Dedication, please contact Alyssa.llamas@pathwayschurch.us

No Pathways Students or Roots Programming
Thanksgiving time is here! Because of the holiday, we will not be hosting Middle School or Roots students on Wednesday, November 27, we’ll see you back in person on December 4th!
We will not have programming for high schoolers on Sunday, December 1, join us again on Sunday, December 8.
Consider using this short devotion to lead your family in a time of thanksgiving.
Ask: “Does anyone know why we celebrate Thanksgiving?” Explain that we celebrate Thanksgiving as a time to thank God for His blessings. Thanksgiving is a special time to say thank you to God.
Ask: “What are you thankful for?” Invite each family member to share a few things he or she is thankful for. Point out that these things are all good gifts, and we can be thankful that we have them.
Ask: “Who gives us these good gifts?” Explain that every good gift is from God. (James 1:17)
Open your Bible to Psalm 107:1. Read the verse aloud or, if your child can read, encourage her to read the verse aloud.
Lead your family in a time of prayer:
Father God, we come to You with thankful hearts. Year after year, You are faithful to us. You give us good gifts—far more than we deserve. Most of all, Lord, we are thankful for You. You love us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to save us from our sins. Thank You for welcoming us into Your family. We give ourselves to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Baptism Sunday
Is it time for you to proclaim publicly your faith in Christ by being baptized? Baptism does not save, but it is an act of obedience for all believers*. Let everyone know that you are a new creation and register below for our next baptism!
*While we believe that children can have a sincere faith in Jesus, we have found the best practice is to wait until a child is at least eight years old before the child takes the step of baptism. If your child is under the age of eight and has expressed interest in baptism, we recommend that you use the time to strengthen his or her faith in other ways. If you do not have a RightNow Media account, it is an excellent resource for you to use to help lead your child into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Christmas Eve at Pathways Church
Signs. There are signs all around us, we live in a world of noise from signs along the highway promoting a business or service, to a street sign telling you which direction to go. During the Christmas season, we have to filter out even more noise from the signs around us telling us to buy this or that, find a tree lot here, or where to take a picture with Santa. Let's stop for a moment and ponder the question, "What are you looking for?" Do you know what signs God is sending you and what they mean?
Join us at Pathways Church at either 12PM, 2PM or 4PM as we worship the birth of our Savior and see what signs we should be looking out for moving forward.

Budget Workshop
One definition of the word "budget" is: "an estimate, often itemized, of expected income and expense for a given period in the future," and so often people view budgeting as this restrictive way of living. However, that does not have to be the case!

About Samaritan’s Purse
The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.” For over 40 years, Samaritan’s Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ’s command by going to the aid of the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
How to Pack a Shoe Box
Do Not Include:
Candy; toothpaste; gum; used or damaged items; scary or war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.
Can Include:
Start with a quality “wow” item such as a stuffed animal, soccer ball with pump, or clothing outfit that will capture the child’s attention the instant he or she opens the box. See our gift suggestions according to age and gender listed below for other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies to fill the shoebox.

New(ish)
Are you new to Pathways? Have you been looking for a chance to meet Pastor Adam and some of the other staff members? If so, this online gathering is for you! This is a great opportunity to hear a little bit about Adam’s heart for Pathways Church and ask any questions you might have.
Military Connection
On Sunday, September 15 from 11AM until 12PM there will be a gathering in room 206 for those who are serving in the military or have served in the past, including their families (spouses, children, and other close family members). We know that military service is a commitment for the whole family and is so much more than a job so we wanted to provide an opportunity for you to connect with others whom you may have never met, but already have a connection with because of your service or your loved one’s service to our country.
No sign-up is required – stop in to enjoy a cup of coffee and great conversation! If you have any questions, please email tammym@pathwayschurch.us.
