Learning Center This Week

OLD TESTAMENT studies continue in the Learning Center this week with the second episode of the judge/prophet Samuel.

 

MANY THANKS all who supported the youth’s Superbowl Grinder event last week. Even MORE thanks to the incredible kids and the CE Board who rallied big time for this event. What a crew!!

 

THE GREAT CHILI COOKOFF, this year, takes place on March 17^th. Get out your best chili recipes, sign up on the Opportunity Table, and enter your chili. You could be the winner! (Be aware that you’ll be competing against previous winners such as The Thibeault family, Steve Fagan, and Kevin McManus – all of whom have won more than once!)

 

ATTENTION PHOTOGRAPHERS!! The Learning Center Coordinator would love to have a “resident photographer” who will continually capture images of children’s events throughout the year. This would be a wonderful ministry for someone looking for their “niche” in the church family. Anyone interested?

 

RI CONFERENCE goings on: bowling night for millennials (20-30 years), tubing, and more. If you are interested in these activities for your young people, please call Megan, 439 8785. Also, this is a Synod year to which Youth Delegations are invited. Any youth wishing to attend should contact Miss Megan. Our youth budget will cover the entire cost.

 

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR is being celebrated at Beneficent Church in Providence on Sunday, February 17^th. Miss Megan has been invited to deliver the sermon, based on China Pilgrimage experience, and will not be in church that Sunday. The CE Board will cover the Learning Center.

 

GOOD FRIDAY “ACTIVIDAY” will take place this year on April 19^th. “Actividay” runs from 8:00 a.m. until noon and is packed with crafts, stories and activities celebrating the meaning of Easter. The cost is $10 per child which includes all activities, snacks and supplies. Look for registration information in the coming weeks.

 

CHILDREN’S WEEKEND this year falls on June 1st – 2nd. Get ready for a weekend of cooking out, camping out, sitting around the fire, taking part in a great Children’s Sunday service, and joining everyone for the best all-church picnic ever!

 

“TISSUES for TEACHERS”: Have your children take some tissues (in the collection bin in Farnum Hall) to their school/classroom to alleviate the personal expense of their teachers. Please, school teachers and students, there are a lot of tissues out there; take a box (or more) for your classrooms!

 

OBERAMMERGAU 2020: Help celebrate our 325th Anniversary year! Join Pastor Joe and Megan for an unforgettable experience in Austria/Germany, 2020! The best part???? – witnessing the oldest and most powerful telling of The Passion of Christ. The date is set at June 8, 2020, which gives you plenty of time to save your pennies. Check out the display on the opportunity table throughout the week. Help yourself to a brochure and feel free to ask questions.
