Lent Kit!

We are all out of materials for our Lent kits, but if you didn't get one, you can still download this PDF of the lessons and activities for the season!

You might need to pick up a few supplies of your own - as pictured - but you can still have a great time learning and creating together as a family this Lent, with a focus on prayer, growth, and generosity.

Speaking of generosity - have you tried to make your Origami Masu box yet? If it was too tricky at 8.5x11 paper, try to print it on 11x17 and see if that size folds more easily for you.

Origami Masu box - use to collect money to donate to your favorite cause at Easter!
Lent Devotional Bags for Middle and High Schoolers
Lent devotional bags with activities for middle and high school youth are still available at the church. If your child would like one and you cannot come to church, please contact Pastor Sabrina who will arrange a delivery.
Summer Service Trip 2021
The summer service trip for all interested high school and middle school students will be to Niagara Falls, NY from June 20 - 25, 2021. The trip will involve numerous service projects, such as building, painting, and working with young children in need.

For those who have already signed up, a second payment of $100 was due on February 1. If you have not signed up but are interested in attending, please contact Pastor Sabrina.

Informational meetings for the trip will begin in March.
