Programming for Children
April 9th
This week, we will celebrate Easter Sunday with the congregation at 10am! There will not be 9am Sunday School or 10am Music Connections. There will, however, be some make-and-take crafts available in Friendship Hall when the children are released during the service. Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will start promptly after worship. Children are welcome to bring their own Easter Egg Basket - or decorate a bag during our craft time.
Hope to see you on Sunday!
Save The Date! April 30, the children are invited to play two songs with TruFunction! We’ll play one easy song and a harder song for those ready for a challenge. Those participating need to attend Music Connections at least twice in March and on April 16 and 23. Please note your family’s availability here: https://forms.gle/wwYAFBV5duPFJUpF8
April Compassion Offering
UCC CAMPS IN WISCONSIN
This month our compassion offering is for our UCC camps in Wisconsin. We are so fortunate to have 3 amazing camps, each in a different setting and each offering unique programs: Moon Beach in the North Woods, Daycholah on Green Lake and Cedar Valley in Washington County.
Camps provide sacred places which enhance our spiritual lives. The experience of living with others builds stronger connections. Camps can nourish us, provide respite so we can return to our daily lives refreshed and ready to serve others. By spending times in the out-of-doors we better appreciate the gifts of creation and therefore are eager to care for the earth.
Our UCC camps also offer many volunteer opportunities, whether it be work projects or assisting at a camp session like Camp AweSum for families touched by autism.
Our camps need our volunteer and financial support. Please click on the link below to learn more about our sacred sites.
