Children and Worship
Children and Worship leaders are a key part of our ministry to 4 - 7 year olds.
We need more leaders trained now to guide our children in experiencing the presence of God. This is a crucial need.
Children in Worship happens during the first 40 minutes of the 11:00 a.m. worship service before the children return to the Sanctuary for a time of greeting, singing, and Bible passage presentation and response. Then, everyone is present for the last third of the service. Please contact Medora Hix to inquire further. Training is scheduled at your convenience.
Vacation Bible School
Change is coming! Save the Date! Everyone clear your calendar now for an all-ages Vacation Bible School; not in June, but July 14 - 18! Not just for children, this is Pilgrimage, recreating life in the Middle Ages, exploring the lives of biblical and medieval saints who lived out the teachings of Christ. There will be separate Pilgrim guilds for children, youth, and adults, as well as craftsmen and others providing experiences and learning in five European lands (England, Italy, Scotland, Spain, and Ireland).

Cool Books Club News
The Cool Books Club will meet on March 5 at 7:00 p.m. at Peg Giesbrecht's home to discuss The Holy Man by Susan Trott. (This book is not available in the public library, but there are many inexpensive copies available online.)
A brief summary from Goodreads: They came from far and wide to see the Holy Man, to find new direction in their lives. They walked away freed from everyday anxiety and forever changed by simple words of wisdom so powerful, yet so universal, that their stories are an inspiration to us all. The Holy Man, an acclaimed national bestseller and beautiful piece of inspirational fiction, is a warm and witty collection of modern fables reflecting on the human search for happiness.
If you are interested in joining us or would like more information, please contact Peg at 919-859-3951 or Ellen Cline at 919-469-1456.
