Children’s Church

Hello! Hope everyone is staying warm.

This past week, we started a new session of children’s church, which is now held from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Sunday in the Sunday school wing. We are focusing on Lent, spring, Mardi Gras and Easter, exploring how they tie together and discussing the symbols attached to each.

Last week, we talked about the butterfly and how it is a symbol of transformation. How will you transform yourself into a more loving person during this season of Lent?

We invite the children of our church to join us this Sunday, as we learn more about the special seasons about to start. They will participate in music, make crafts and much more!

You, too, can be part of God’s answer to prayer for those affected by this disaster.

We Pray for Haiti

We pray for Haiti

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As the eyes of the world turn to Haiti, let us join our hearts in prayer:

God of compassion
please watch over the people of Haiti,
and weave out of these terrible happenings
wonders of goodness and grace.
Surround those who have been affected by tragedy
with a sense of your present love,
and hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief,
may they find you and be comforted.
Guide us as a church
to find ways of providing assistance
that heal wounds and provide hope.
Help us to remember that when one of your children suffers
we all suffer;
through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives
and rules this world with you. Amen.
(Adapted from Book of Common Worship)

—Bruce Reyes-Chow, Gradye Parsons and Linda Valentine
