Sunday School at 9:00 & 10:45
Adult Classes & Small Groups
Hello from Children's Ministries -- March/April 2010
Thank you to all of you who have supported this ministry! Thanks to you, we have sold about half of the fundraising discount cards for Fill the Ark! We still have more, so ask your friends and neighbors!
Sunday School is always in need of cookies and juice, so don’t be shy! Even if it’s not the week that you signed up for, you can always bring it in! The kids really appreciate it!
We have some upcoming events that I want to draw your attention to:
* On March 13, we will be hosting a National Ministry Seminar called Walk Thru the Bible Old Testament. Adults and children in Grade 3 and up are encouraged to participate. It is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and there will be a lunch offered for $5. Child care is also provided. This seminar will teach your children not to be afraid of the Bible and to know all of the important people, places and events in Christian History. I encourage you to attend this seminar as a family to open up communication and worship at home! The cost of this seminar is only $17 per person and is well worth every penny! If you have any questions about this event, please see me!
* Sunday, March 14, is when we will be celebrating Scout Sunday. I encourage all scouts, and those involved in scouting at any level, to wear your uniform to church!
* Saturday, March 27, the Sunday School will be hosting a pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny. This event will be from 9:00 am to Noon and costs just $5 (kids under 5 are free). Come have your picture taken with the Easter Bunny, have breakfast. Proceeds go to help Fill the Ark!
Holy Week is fast approaching! There are four services that are planned for Holy Thursday, Good Friday and both Easter morning worship times. Adults and children are welcome to become involved and have a part in this wonderful event. This would be a great way for our kids to experience firsthand the Amazing Story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. See Betty Kline if you are interested. All Sunday School classes will be participating in the Good Friday “Stations of the Cross” service by making the poster-boards for the Stations of the Cross. Come travel with your family!
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be on Saturday, April 3rd at 11:00 am. This event is for children in 6th grade and younger. The Social Committee will be leaving empty eggs to fill under the Sunday School table in Fellowship Hall. Please take as many eggs as you can and fill them with small toys and candy (some people last year even used spare change!). All eggs need to be filled and returned by Sunday, March 28th.
There will be no regular Sunday School on Sunday, April 4, which is Easter Sunday. There will, however, be activities for children at both morning services in a one room schoolhouse setting. If you would be willing to help with these activities at either service, please see me or a coordinator!
Sunday, April 18th, is movie and pajama Sunday for Sunday School classes. Don’t forget to bring your favorite stuffed animal!
Sunday, April 25th, is our Teachers and Youth Workers’ Appreciation Brunch. More details to follow on how you can sponsor a Sunday School worker!
As always, thank you to everyone for their continued support of our ministry. The prayers, donations and love have been a blessing! I love all of you and am truly blessed to be a part of this church family!
