Happy Easter!
As I mentioned in a previous email, when I was a kid Easter was one of my favorite holidays. I got new clothes, we got Easter baskets, and then we got to have ham and deviled eggs at Grandma's house. What could have been better?!
As I got older, I still enjoyed all those things, but I also began to enjoy the other, and equally dramatic, days that precede Easter Morning. From sitting around the table with the Disciples on Maundy Thursday to the terrible and dark story of Good Friday there's so much to experience before the light and joy of Easter.
Last time, I also gave a list of great activities to do throughout Holy Week. If you missed it, you can find it HERE. I would also encourage you (especially if you have older kids) to attend either the Maundy Thursday (April 17) or Good Friday (April 18) service this year; both begin at 7pm. And as always, I'm always available if you have questions about either service.
Otherwise, we'll see you on Easter morning for worship (9 or 11am), breakfast (10am), and the Easter egg hunt (10:30am)!

Godly Play (PreK-2nd)
On April 27, we will look at the Easter story one last time by looking at different kinds of crosses from all over the world.

We Believe (3rd-5th)
On April 27th, our We Believers will finish the month by taking a deeper look at the Easter story. Then, we move into hearing stories of "Good News" told throughout the Bible.

Club 56: A New Group for 5th and 6th Graders
Coming Fall 2014
Club 56 is a new "JV" youth group of sorts for 5th and 6th graders! It will be structured very similarly to our Middle School and Senior High Youth programs, only it would be tailored to the unique needs of Tweens (they're not quite teenagers, but they're not really little kids either). As such, our weekly programming (themes/topics & activities) will be age appropriate for such a group.
And as we start making some preliminary plans, we want to hear from you and your families! Especially if you're the parent of our current 4th and 5th graders!
Please take this short survey and let me know your thoughts! At the end of the survey you'll see a spot for questions. Responses will go directly to me so ask away. Otherwise, your'e always welcome to get in touch with me directly.
-- Jonathan
