Programming for Children
January 22nd
Nursery Care opens at 8:30. Antonia and Joey are ready to play with your little one.
Kindergarten-5th grade 9am This week, we begin the “Learning to Use My Bible” Curriculum. This semester, we will focus on books and lessons from the Old Testament. We begin our exploration of the Bible by identifying different sections, finding different bible verses, learning American Sign Language for a bible verse, and even making a “scroll.” We’ll use the Bibles we have on hand in the classroom for this study. Certainly, if your child has a Bible that they would like to bring to church, they are welcome to do so! Or, if you would like to purchase a Bible for your child, please let me know and I can make some recommendations.  
Music Connections: This week the children will begin the 10 o’clock hour in the sanctuary with you. When they are dismissed for Music Connections, we will move to the downstairs Bonhoeffer Room to develop actions to the song “Deep Peace,” along with Megan and Josie Gasser. Later in the service, this song will be showcased as part of Vicki Nonn’s 50th Anniversary of her time at ORUCC! Once our actions are complete, the children will complete a letter that they will send to our partner school in Gainesville, Georgia as part of the Peace Crane Project. We will mail our letters and cranes to them; and, they will mail back letters and cranes. Becky Erickson will be our Music Connections volunteer. 
Speaking of which….Julie Mazer is in need of Music Connections volunteers, January-May. Please sign up at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0944a5ab2b0-2023#/

January Compassion Offering
Ethical Trade Co was founded in 2015 after its founders witnessed firsthand exploitation and human trafficking affecting people in southeast Asia. They met companies there that offered ethical employment opportunities to the people in their communities to prevent further exploitation. Feeling inspired, they set out to provide a marketplace for the products the companies were making so that they could offer ethical employment to even more people. Today ETC’s work financially empowers formerly exploited people in more than 25 countries.
 
As ETC sells items or receives donations into the general fund, it is able to purchase more products which uphold the vision of empowering artisans by paying them a livable wage for their labor so that they are able to break free from exploitation and trafficking.
You can make a donation by check, on the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online from our website. The link is https://orucc.org/contribute/support/
