Formed in 2006, the Wet Set Family Fellowship was
created to help families:
- Share ideas of how to raise our children in
the faith;
- Learn from each others’ successes and
struggles;
- Build our own spirituality as we explore
scripture for parenting lessons; and
- Create a time and space for our children to
fellowship with one another.
The group derived its name from the common term
used to describe children who are either still in diapers or are transitioning
out of them. However, the children who participate vary in age from infants to
elementary school age. “Wet” is also an apt term as many of our children and
infants have been recently baptized.
The group meets on the third Friday of each month
in the fellowship hall from 5:45-7:00 pm. Our meetings begin with a time of
singing for the children as parents set up the evening meal. Supervised in a
separate classroom, the children have dinner and fellowship while the parents
eat and discuss the evening’s topic.
Past service projects have included singing at
Culver West Convalescent Hospital, participating in the Westside Foodbank Hunger
Walk, collecting diapers and clothes for Westside Children’s Center, and coastal
clean- up at local beaches.
Wet Set Family Fellowship also holds an annual
summer retreat that consists of three consecutive evenings and a Saturday
morning at church. During the retreat, the families share a meal, sing songs,
listen to Bible stories, and complete crafts related to the retreat’s theme.
We welcome all families with young children to join
us.
