This week, third grade students will be handing out palms beginning at 9 am. When taking a palm, also take a moment to note each of their stoles as each is different and is a reflection of that student.

As part of the third grade curriculum, students used class time this past month, to design and create their own stoles. They picked meaningful symbols, copied and cut it from felt and attached it to a long strip of felt which will be worn around their necks.  

A HUGE thank you to these individuals for pulling off another successful Meet the Easter Bunny event! Without them all helping with the shopping, managing the event and setting up/cleaning up, this event couldn't go on. An extra thank you goes out to Sarah San Clemente for all her hard work orchestrating the food portion of the day, Debbie Adams for being there every step of the way and Erin Anderson for providing all the advertising for the event.  An extra big thank you to Amanda Ramsdell for playing to her young audience as the easter bunny. Thank you all!!

We are looking for nursery care help for the 9 & 11 am Easter Service (4/21).

Young families would welcome an opportunity to worship without the distraction of having a young one in the pew with them. A few minutes of rest and reflection on Easter will go a long ways to refilling their soul.  

If you are available, consider donating an hour of your time contact Sue Panilaitis– these young families will be thankful!   

 We start the month with friends of Jesus who had lost all hope which John records in John 11:1-45. When Lazarus died, Jesus used the opportunity to point people to God. Jesus was stronger than even death itself and raised Lazarus back to life four days after he had died.

Bottom Line: Whatever happens, remember how powerful God is. God can do amazing things in your life. We pray that kids will understand that when they face something difficult or hard to understand that they’ll find hope that God’s power can help us through whatever we face.

All are welcome at the Meet the Easter Bunny event this Sunday. Beginning directly after adult worship, families are invited to enjoy a light brunch provided by the CE committee while enjoying some crafts and meeting the Easter Bunny.  As always, there is no cost to participate and all crafts are offered at various levels of difficulty to accommodate the diverse ages.  This event will be advertised within the community - invite your friends!!

This Friday, 4/5, we are looking for individuals who would be willing to help set up for the Meet the Easter Bunny event which will take place on Sunday, 11-12:30.  We are in need of people to physically put out tables and chairs, but also individuals who would be willing to assist with decorating tables and making the area for the Easter Bunny look inviting.  We hope to begin setting up at 7 pm Friday night.  All are welcome!

Youth will finish the month looking at Matthew 22:34-40. With the greatest commandment, Jesus clarified what it meant to follow God. Instead of following hundreds of commands, Jesus said we are to love God and love others as we love ourselves. When we put this into practice, it helps us prioritize love in all of our relationships.

Bottom Line: God made us to love others. We’re not meant to do life on our own. God made us for relationships. But for those relationships to thrive, we need to put love as the goal. We hope that kids start to understand how they can love the people God has put into their lives.
