Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The Easter Season is here with the children’s joyous shouts of “Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! The coins our students and families saved in their mite boxes during Lent , will be collected on Easter Day or April 12th. Once the coins are counted, we will let you know the amount to be donated to our A is for Africa outreach project. In the meantime, we have received an amazing collection of wonderful children’s books (B is for Books) to be shipped to Africa for the school’s newly organized library. What a treat it will be to the children. Thank you!
During our last “4th Sunday Fun” group activity, the classes had a hands on experience of The Easter Story organized by Betsy Davis. They made palm branches, entered into Jerusalem, had a mock foot washing and Last Supper meal followed by prayers in the garden, quiet time by the cross and saw an empty tomb……and then they danced joyfully with musical instruments because Christ Has Risen!
The middle-high youth had an opportunity recently to meet the Diocesan Youth Missioner, Kate Riley. During our class time she showed a video of the many youth programs offered in our Dio-cese. Katie McKeever (one of our own!) is very involved in Diocesan youth events and would be happy to share some of her experiences with you.
All of the Sunday School classes are now in the spring term of Living the Good News curriculum, which will take us to the end of May. What a joy it is to work with your children and to see their smiling faces each Sunday. Thank you for your support. And, may we remind you…..volunteers are always welcomed and appreciated.
