For this month’s experiment, we are inviting you to give up something that you regularly spend money on. Such as a coffee, dining out, or a special treat for yourself. Place that money in the envelope that is provided, and bring it back to church, to help support our sister congregation in Tanzania. This may seem small, but it’s a great fasting practice. You can pick up your envelope outside the narthex or you can always make a donation to Tanzania on line as well.
If you haven't picked up the last few months of experiments, they are available at church

Updated Sunday School Model!
In order for our new model of Sunday School to be successful, we need people to lead these rotations. If you love art projects, sign up for an art rotations or all of them! Or if you love science, sign up for those. It's a commitment, but a commitment on your terms and schedules. This is a way to fulfill your promises that you made while each of these little ones were baptized.
To see the dates and the topics, we have a sign up in the narthex. If you'd like more information, either call the office or send Jenny an email.
There are supplies that we need for the year as well - an Amazon wish list has been created! https://a.co/1OA0pMO
If you’re looking for another way to volunteer, we need some help going our supplies in the basement. If you’re interested in helping for a few hours, please let Jenny know. Thank you!
