Sunday School Schedule - Christmas "Pageant" Help - Fall Picnic - Silent Auction
SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER SCHEDULE IS NOW AVAILABLE Teachers, take a look at this schedule and let me (Astrid) know if you need any changes. Remember, too, all the teachers' email addresses are there, in case you ever need to find your own sub last minute (which you're welcome and encouraged to do!).
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH ADVENT WREATH MAKING ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22 & 29 I know it seems far off ... but it won't! If anyone is willing to help out with making Advent wreaths, I'd love to devote two Sundays to this and maybe put together something nice. Ideas are all over the web, some good ones on Pinterest if you'd like to look around before deciding whether to commit. If you're interested, please let me (Astrid) know!
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO COORDINATE A SIMPLE CHRISTMAS EVE PAGEANT In fact, "pageant" may be too grandiose. I'd love for the kids to possibly sing my favorite Christmas song, a 12th century carol called "The Friendly Beasts," and I'm thinking we could do something super simple, with 2-3 rehearsals during Sunday school slots in December. Please contact me if you might be interested and willing to help! Here's the song on video (there are lots of other examples on youtube).
TILL SEEKING STILL SHOTS FROM THE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL PLAY I saw a lot of video cameras running, but am looking for a few still pics for our Facebook page. If you have any, please do send them my way - astridstorm@gmail.com.
HAITI READ-A-THON WRAP-UP AND CELEBRATION SEPTEMBER 13Remember our read-a-thon celebration on Sept. 13 after church in the undercroft.DIDN'T EVER GET AROUND TO PICKING UP A FORM? Forms are HERE, and you can still take part! Just tally all the books read over the summer and find a few sponsors - friends or family - to support. Hit up grandparents, maybe a neighbor or two, parents - even a parishioner. It's really very simple. Contact me (Astrid) with questions or click above for the forms.
SUNDAY SCHOOL RESUMES SEPTEMBER 13: "PEOPLE JESUS MET"Throughout the fall, the kids will be learning about the people Jesus encountered in his ministry - men, women, rich, poor, Jew and Gentile. This unit will give them a good understanding of Jesus' generosity with people - the example we're to follow.
SILENT AUCTION - IDEAS FOR FAMILY ITEMS? The auction committee would like ideas for items families may like to bid on. Please send them my way and I'll forward them to the group. Better yet, if you're willing to ask an organization for an item, that would be great. I'll give you the needed forms to take (or mail) to them.
FALL WELCOME BACK PICNIC AT THE FREEMANS SEPTEMBER 20 & POTLUCK SIGN-UP HERE This was a great event last year and so we're doing it again! The Freemans have a huge yard for the kids to play in, so plan to be there if you're free. Also, if you can sign up to bring something, click above or HERE and sign up online.
DIRECTORY PICTURES SEPTEMBER 20 AT THE PICNIC New since last fall's picnic? Then plan to have your directory picture taken! We want to get everyone in our new directory. Last year's pictures will be re-used, for those who already have a pic. If you want a new one OR have a new addition to your family, you're welcome to have your picture re-taken.
