It’s a new year and we’re doing some new things! Our children and youth activities are moving to Sunday nights. Our children will now be meeting on the first Sunday night of each month from 5-7 PM for an extended time of crafts, music, lessons and even some field trips. Our youth will now be meeting every Sunday night from 5-7 PM. Children will start off in the Theatre Room (upstairs in the CLC) and our youth will meet in the Senior High room (upstairs in the CLC). We hope this new schedule will allow more of our kids to participate in these activities. If you have any questions, please see Megan Burke (Children’s Coordinator) or April Bridgeman (Youth Coordinator).
You are invited to a 100th Birthday Party for Miss Mary Carrier on Saturday, February 8, from 2:00—4:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall.
