Join us for a family movie night at Regency

That’s right… We’re talking about THE TALK

Talking to our kids about sex, birth, body safety, pornography, and other related topics can feel very overwhelming and awkward at times, but we all know how important it is. They'll learn about these things at some point (sooner than we think), and as their parents, we want to be the first place they hear about it.

During the workshop, we'll watch and discuss short videos from the Birds & the Bees curriculum which gives very practical steps on how to begin and continue this conversation with our kids throughout their childhood. We'll also have the opportunity to learn from each other if anyone would like to share experiences (or funny anecdotes) they've had while talking with their kids about sex. The curriculum is geared toward young children through preteens, but the information can easily be scaled to use for teens as well.

Saturday, January 20, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (Third at Regency)

Race, cheer, and worship on Sunday, October 29!

The Live Red Foundation is hosting a Kids Mile Race around Regency on Sunday morning, October 29. We’re anticipating hundreds of people descending on Regency and want to be a welcoming presence to those who are racing and cheering on their friends and family. Here’s how you can particpate:

• Race: Join the one-mile run! Race heats are broken up by age brackets for kids 1-year-old through teenagers. There’s even a race for parents, if mom or dad want to get in on the action!

• Coffee & Cheering: Come out to enjoy coffee and snacks while cheering on the racers. We have told the Live Red Foundation that we will be hosting a cheering section on the upper floor parking deck by our space. Races begin at 7:30 a.m., so cheering should begin then and last through the morning!

Important Changes to Worship on October 29

Because the race will circle Regency and because a large portion of our church will be at the Fall Retreat, there are a number of changes to worship that Sunday morning.

• Parking: Holly Hill and Starling will still be open, but please park downstairs, on the bottom level of the parking deck. The upper parking deck (that leads to the second floor and our main worship space) will be closed for the race route.

• Worship Times: We will only be having one service on Sunday, October 29 at 11:00 a.m. There will be no 8:45 a.m. service or Sunday school. Childcare will still be available for kids kindergarten and younger during the 11:00 a.m. service.

• No Sunday School! We will not be holding Sunday school for kids, students or adults this Sunday.

Join us for our 2nd annual Splish Splash Saturday event!

Come ready to cool down with your friends in our makeshift splash pad. We'll have iced coffee for grownups and popsicles for the kids. Pack a lunch and stay for the playground after the water is turned off. A great event to invite friends and neighbors for relaxed fellowship.

Join us for a picnic to celebrate Tracie Meadows’ service to Third as she leaves staff this month!

Bring your lunch, and we’ll have some surprises (hint: it’s cold and sweet!!) and will have some time to recognize her service, pray for her, and laugh about all that’s happened these past few years. Don’t forget to pack some camp chairs and sunscreen!

We're getting back to the basics and we’re bringing the ICE CREAM with us!

This time is for families and kids to get together outside to build community, have FUN, and eat ice cream. We’ll be providing the ice cream (The Mister Softee Ice Cream truck, actually!), you bring camp chairs and dinner for your family.

We ask that everyone, ages 5 and older, wears a mask when not eating or drinking and maintain appropriate and safe distancing. The playground will be open too.

We encourage you to invite friends or neighbors!

We will honor May as Foster Care Awareness Month by supporting Third’s Forgotten No More Ministry. Henrico DSS is requesting restaurant gift cards ($25) to give to foster families. We will also have a table set up for children to color cards for local foster children and their families.

Attention Families of Third!

We're getting back to the basics: families and kids getting together outside to build community and have FUN. Bring camp chairs and dinner for your family and meet new folks or catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while. We ask that everyone, ages 5 and older, wears a mask when not eating or drinking and maintain appropriate and safe distancing. The playground will be open too.

We encourage you to invite friends or neighbors! No Zoom password needed, just good old-fashioned fellowship!

We believe that prayer is essential for the families and parents at Third, and we want to pray with and for you.

Going forward, we will host a monthly prayer time over Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month. Our next meetup will be February 17th.

Put your children down for the evening and spend a few minutes with us in prayer.
