March 29

Leadership Development Ideas

If you missed the Spiritual Growth Chart workshop, then we missed you! It was a wonderful afternoon with Dr. Cathy Stonehouse, where we learned a lot about children's spiritual development and a tool to engage children in worship.

If you have an idea for another workshop topic that would be useful in your ministry area, such as behavior, curriculum planning, or just your own spiritual development as leaders, please send those ideas to Mark Rosenthal (mzr0004@gmail.com), chair of the Children's Ministry Team!

Palm Sunday Processional

This Sunday, ALL ages (including you adults) are invited to process palms at the beginning of the 9 & 11:15 am services. Simply line up in Fellowship Hall 10 minutes before the service begins. 

Children in 9am Children's Worship will go upstairs to process palms at the 10:05 am service, which means that those children will arrive late to your rooms this week. Look for a small influx of 9am worshipers around 10:10 or 10:15. Thank you!

Curriculum

The next two weeks will be spent on two lessons out of a unit entitled What's the Big Deal About Sin? This is an appropriate precursor for Easter, and after celebrating Jesus' work of Resurrection, we'll continue into a unit on forgiveness. 

 
April 5 - Easter
No small groups

Special Dates

  • March 28 - Easter Festival in Norton Commons (www.ccum.net/easterfestival)
  • March 29 - Palm Sunday processional at 9 & 11:15 am
  • April 5 - Easter Sunday - No small groups

Questions?

We are here for you! Let us know if you're having any difficulties or need clarification as you lead your class. 

You are in our prayers. Thank you for your ministry to children!

March 22 - Build Walls in Fellowship Hall

This Sunday, all children's groups are invited to make a field trip to Fellowship Hall during the 10:05 am hour to autograph and add Scriptures & prayers to the boards that will be used in our upcoming build at Henderson Settlement.

Kids under the age of middle school will not be permitted to use real tools for safety reasons, but they are welcome to watch others and color all over those boards!

Here is the note about this opportunity from our Outreach & Justice Team:
The Henderson Team will be available to help the kids/families sign 2 X 4’s in the Fellowship Hall all morning on March 22. These walls will be used in the addition for the Griffin family of 8 who currently lives in a 14 X 70 trailer. We hope the kids will be able to join us and please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks so much!

Special Dates

  • March 22 - Build walls in Fellowship Hall for Hnderson Settlement
  • March 28 - Easter Festival in Norton Commons (www.ccum.net/easterfestival)
