I am thrilled about the exciting changes in our ministry to children and youth. We have many dedicated volunteers who thoughtfully and prayerfully serve our children but I want to single out just a few people who have made these changes possible. Many thanks to Liz & Chad Goodman, Pam Schawbrow, Melinda Merwin, Funmi Falayi, Kimberly Bryant and Geraldine Liborio. This small group of volunteers have dedicated themselves to serving our children almost every single Sunday and this has allowed us to split our Children’s Sunday School classroom back out into two groups: PK4 – 1st and 2nd – 4th. It also allows us to start a youth group for our rising 6th graders and above.
Do you want in on this excitement? There is always room for new volunteers and for existing volunteers to help out more frequently! More specifically, we'll need folks to help with our Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Summer Fest - please contact me if you'd like to join the team! Annual Easter Egg Hunt Children of all ages are invited to participate in our annual Easter Egg Hunt following the 10:00 service on Easter day. There will be tickets in the eggs and a prize table where children can "buy" the goodies they'd like. We will have separate hunts for children ages infant through 3 years and 4 years and above. Looking Ahead - Summer Fest! We’re in the process of planning some fantastic opportunities for fun and fellowship for kids aged 5 through 100! We’re still working out the details of what exactly we’ll be doing, but for now take a look at this exciting schedule. May 28 – Last day of formal Sunday School instruction for children, youth, and adults. June 4 – Pentecost Sunday. We’ll kick off Summer Fest with our annual Happy Birthday Church celebration. There will be food, a bouncy house and other fun activities. Other Summer Fest dates during the summer - June 18, July 9, July 23, August 6 August 20 – Back to School Blessing and our last Summer Fest. We’ll celebrate going back to school by blessing our children and their backpacks. After the service there will be food, a bouncy house and exciting games. September 10 – First day of formal Sunday School instruction for children, youth, and adults.
