Hi Parents,
There are some big things happening! Sorry for the possibly seizure-producing .gif, but I have exciting news to share! There will be in-person worship opportunities beginning on Palm Sunday. We are also looking at changing our Sunday School offerings so that we can do some in-person things on Sunday mornings. Also, view the details below about an Easter park gathering on Saturday, April 3rd from 10-11:30am.
We can't lie....the schedule for worship and Sunday School is pretty complicated, but taking it a little bit at a time, all you need to know is this Sunday (3/21) you can watch the live worship at home and do kids Sunday from home. Next week (3/28), you can join us for a 10am Outdoor Service, and do virtual Sunday School before worship!
Here's the plan through the end of April in a format that helped me make sense of it:

Come join us for a fun chance to gather and connect with other kids and families! This will be a fun and safe opportunity to remember the good news of Easter and celebrate together with some special activities. We have rented the shelter and should have plenty of room to move around and social distance. We do want to have an idea of how many would like to come, so please RSVP if you plan to join us! Questions? Reach out to todd@fpcwinc.org.

Check out these 24 cards with different activities and conversations that you can do whenever you want during this season of Lent/Eastertide. It is sure to help prepare the hearts of your family to celebrate Easter! They were mailed out and are available on the CM Table in the church building.
Once you've completed all the cards the back of each completed piece will form a springtime puzzle with hidden objects to find. Any family that takes a picture of their puzzle, signifying they completed all the cards will be entered to win a $25 Amazon Gift Card prize!! Photos must be submitted by April 17th!

This Sunday, Sunday School will be online via ZOOM beginning at 9:15 am. We are currently working through a unit with an Easter focus!

VBS July 18-22
This will definitely be our date and theme for VBS! This is later than usual on account of school letting out later and the unknowns of the pandemic. Last year we had a safe and successful VBS by staying outdoors, distanced, masked, and parents came too as kids stayed in groups with their family. At the LEAST, we could do that this summer on this week, but we are hoping and praying that things improve significantly with the pandemic where we could safely have a more traditional format. Stay tuned on the "How", but for now, we wanted to at least share the "What?" and the "When?"

Children's Choir rehearsals have resumed and they happen on Thursdays at 4:30 in the Fellowship Hall. This year we are making music with instruments while properly distanced and masked! The choir is for children ages four and up. If you would like to come to try it out, just let Amy Bowman know so she can plan instrument parts for the right amount of children. Email amybowman07@gmail.com if you're interested or would like more information!
