The Christian Education Committee will be sponsoring our 10th annual Children’s Carnival on May 15th, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be games & prizes, food, a Moon Bounce, a craft table and a special appearance by David Marchetti and his animal friends at noon. We will also be collecting canned goods for the East Bay Food Pantry.
To make it a success the Carnival needs volunteers to help with games, crafts, etc. Please contact Michelle Cousineau (569-1565) or the church office (253-7288) if you can help, even if it is just for an hour or two.

On Thursday April 1 we will hold our annual Maundy Thursday potluck and Tenebrae service. The potluck starts at 6pm and the Tenebrae Service begins at 7:30pm. This year the Tenebrae Service will be held in the main sanctuary.
This beautiful and moving service depicts the passion of Christ through sacred scripture and gradual darkening of the worship space.
We hope you will join us. A sign up sheet for the potluck is posted in the DeWolfe room, or you may email Barbara at the office and let her know what you will be bringing and how many are in your group – office@fccbristol.org
At long last, we are able to post our approved Bylaws! Please click here to see the new Bylaws.
Thanks so much to the Bylaws Committee for all of your hard work!
