Sunday School, Youth & Nursery News

Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
Hello parents & teachers!
In Sunday School this week, the children will be continuing their Sunday School lessons with teachers Jack and Jennifer. This week's lesson is titled:
"Mary and Martha"
"Mary and Martha," also known as "Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary" is a New Testament story told in Luke 10:38-42. It says,
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
During this week's lesson, we will read this passage and discuss the story. We will watch a short video, and talk about the video through interactive, thoughtful questions. We will create a fun craft where the children will make a balance scale to reflect and think about activities in their lives. We will learn about how Jesus loved Mary and Martha for who they were, not for what they did.
SUNDAY SCHOOL AND NURSERY CARE
Please note that until further notice, there will no longer be nursery care available during the 10am service.
ANNUAL MEETING 2017
This years Annual Meeting and Parish Potluck will be this Sunday, January 29 at the New Hamburg Yacht Club following the 10am service. There will be important discussions of parish business, 2017 budget, Capital Campaign updates, Outreach goals and other important matters relative to parish life. We hope to see you there!
Peace and Blessings,
St. Nick's
