Church School Update

Here's what is happening in Church School this Sunday, May 20th, and in the busy weeks ahead:

Volunteer Appreciation Sunday, May 20th

This Sunday, May 20th, is the final 9:15am service of the school year. All Church School students should start in the Chapel and will join their parents in church at the time of the Peace. All Church School volunteers, including teachers, Steering Committee members, and high school assistants, will be recognized at the end of the service. Please plan to attend and stand to be recognized for your time and dedication to our Church School program.

Summer Sundays

During the summer, Church School students are welcome to attend Summer Sunday School in one of the lower-level classrooms. Students will participate in lectionary-based activities and enjoy a snack. Summer Sunday School starts at 10am and participants will join their parents in the church during the time of Peace.

Chapel Collection Donated to Charities

Each year the Church School Steering Committee selects two charities, one local and one national, to receive the donations collected in Chapel services during the school year. This year the committee chose to support St. Louis Crisis Nursery and Corporate Angel Network.

St. Louis Crisis Nursery is an independent, not-for-profit agency committed to preventing child abuse and neglect by providing short-term, emergency shelter for children, birth through age 12, whose families are faced with emergencies or who are in crisis.

Corporate Angel Network is a charitable organization dedicated to transporting cancer patients to the hospitals where they may received necessary specialized treatment. CAN pairs empty seats - on both private and corporate planes - with qualified patients who need transportation at no cost. This service improves the patients' chances of survival while reducing emotional stress, physical discomfort, and financial burden.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Chapel collection this year.

Parish Picnic in the Street

Next Sunday, May 27th, is the first 10am service of the summer. Following the service please join us for the Parish Picnic in the Street. The picnic features food, drinks, bouncy house, balloon makers, petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, and more. Picnic is held rain or shine. Hope to see you there!
