Tour Our Bible Village - One Day Only: Today!
Today the third and fourth graders are offering tours of their Bible Village! Please stop by between 11:00-11:30 to see what they have built, and to hear all about the planning and building. There will be costumes, music, and biblically-inspired food. You won't want to miss this! The classroom is on the Nursery level at the back of the hallway.

Today we have Church School classes as usual:
9:30 for age 3 through second grade.
After the service, all grades.

Soft Space
Our soft space will be going away for the next two weeks. Palm Sunday and Easter will be too busy for it, with heightened attendance and, potentially, too many children wanting to be in it all at once (certainly a nice problem to have!)

Join us for a new worship experience this Holy Week
Wednesday, April 12, 5
:30-7:00PM
Our worship will be a hands-on, intergenerational journey with Jesus through his last days. We'll hear the stories of what went on between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and we'll put our bodies to work as well as our minds--in the ancient Holy Week traditions of washing feet, sharing a meal, singing, and keeping watch with Jesus. A great way to "put the pieces together", and prepare our hearts for Easter. Dinner is included in this service.
