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.

What a wonderful night tonight. As I looked around the room I saw a great inter-generational mix of people. We think we broke a record for attendance! So many children were having fun, playing various “made up” games and enjoying the company of all of us linked to them by baptism—–by sacred covenant.
I saw Rev. Mary Aberg quietly going from place to place, person to person, checking in. I saw all those folks in the kitchen, serving others as Christ called us to do. (Helen, CE and their helpers- thank you so very much for this ministry) This kind of education is unique and vitally important for our young people. Where else in our society can you see such an example of caring and joy? I listened to your hopes, dreams, fears and struggles tonight as we prepare for the Lenten season. You shared your jokes and you cleared our tables. You ate pancakes and you asked about feeding the hungry. I heard the yearnings of a people of great faith, who love each other and want to work for justice and peace in our town and world. You brought friends and made new friends.
First Congregational Church, let the Spirit of the Living God enfold you now – as we enter Lent. Let God lead you, teach you, love you and give you hope.
Thanks for a wonderful evening of Christian community!
Blessings aye,
Pastor Dan
The Christian Ed Committee will be hosting a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 24 at 6 p.m. If you are planning to attend, please sign-up in the DeWolf room or contact Helen Sousa (253-8012). A free-will offering will be taken to offset the cost of the food.
On Sunday, February 24, Helen Sousa will begin a basic Bible study, called “Stepping Stonesâ€, for the youth of our church, grades 3 and up. In this class the children will become familiar with 12 bible verses, stories and elements of worship. Each child will be able to “earn†a stone for each lesson learned. This study will also be held on March 2 and March 30, after church school. Please see me to sign up and for more details. I need to purchase supplies for this class, so sign up is necessary.
The Christian Education Committee will be sponsoring a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 5, 6-7:30 p.m. in the DeWolf Room. If you will be attending, please sign-up on the DeWolf room bulletin board or call the Christian Ed director so we know how much food to make. A free-will offering will be taken.
This past Sunday the children celebrated with a birthday party for Jesus. Fun was had by all, as you can clearly see in these photos.
