Hi parents! This Sunday the kids will learn about the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal - a story sure to capture their attention, especially the boys. Be sure to ask them about it! Teachers for this week are Katie and Adam.
Also, this Sunday is the February 8 fundraiser at Outback Steakhouse, and kids 7 and under are free! We have over 100 people signed up (with 25 or so kids) BUT WE CAN STILL FIT YOU IN if you'd like to join in! Also, there are several free tickets that people bought who aren't able to attend - please email me if you'd like to use these so they don't go to waste.
Coming up: February 17 is the Shrove Tuesday/Mardis Gras Pancake supper, another fun family event for the whole parish. It will be at the New Hamburg Firehouse again this year, and we hope to have some of our kids be the servers...
Pancake Supper: Looking for kids to serve. Here's a note from Jen, Samantha and Natalie's mom: We are looking for kids who would like to be servers at the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper. Sign up for an hour to work. Pass out pancakes and jambalaya. Get drinks and help clean up trash. It's going to be tons of fun. Please see Jen Urciuoli to sign up. Sign up at church or email at jenstrose@hotmail.com
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 winter teaching schedule is available here.
And a reminder from Caitlin, our nursery caregiver, that we can always use more volunteers to help out. Ideally, the nursery is run by Caitlin *and* a parent volunteer each week. You can reach her by email at cratzlaff6@gmail.com.
Stay warm, and and see you Sunday!
