Religious Education News- March 19, 2019
Greetings to All! Hoping you are having a wonderful week.
We released our hatched butterflies this past Sunday. I never knew that they could fly so fast! So much for making them a flower feast (although some did flit back later). Look for more photos in our photo gallery here.
We have a lot of activities coming up in the next three weeks. See below. The most critical event right now that I need your help is for the Pancake Breakfast. This is not something that a few can do. We need everyone to help and this is a great way to be visible in our general church community! Adult volunteers needed are listed below but we need the children to help too. Please take a minute of your time to click on this link and email me if you will be there for April 7th and save me from cardiac arrest. :-)
I have had several visitors to our church ask if we have any children so let them know we are here by being present. This Sunday, all children and families will start in the Service for a special story for all Ages. On Sunday, March 31, the Church's Green Team will be helping with our Children's Chapel on sustainable eating and the children will be at the Green Team table after the service handing out their project. Having children help at the Pancake Breakfast ticket sales booth in the courtyard is needed too. Let our children wow our congregation!
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!
