Hi parents & teachers - This Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent, and the kids will be starting their Lenten project of collecting change to support Episcopal Relief and Development's "Gifts for Life" program. You will receive a handout this Sunday about the project so you know how you can be involved. A big thank you to Debbie Evans, who will be leading us in this effort and also teaching the kids a little bit about Lent.
Also, it's banner time! After learning about their Lenten project, the kids will be making our annual Easter "Alleluia banner," which gets hidden under the altar until Easter time to remind us all not to use that word during Lent. Thanks to Jack Devine for agreeing to work with the kids on this again this year!
And one more thank you - this one to all the kids who served at last week's pancake supper, and to Jen Urciuoli who organized it all. Our very assiduous servers included: Josie and Finn, Samantha, Livia, and Lyndsey.
And remember to Save the date: Vacation Bible School is July 27-31 (because I know you're thinking - more like dreaming - about your summer plans about now!). VBS is open to everyone ages 4-12, and runs from 9:30 - noon. It culminates in a big play the Sunday following, August 2. Spread the word!
Teachers, the teaching schedule is available here.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!!
