Board of Christian Education and Sunday School
The BCE met with Reverend Yvette on March 18th to discuss our Sunday School curriculum for next year and to consider some exciting changes for the Sunday School. The children did a great job collecting fruit, vegeta-bles and jello for the families of Kindercottage. We also collected $600 dollars which will help approximately 30 families purchase Easter ham. Thank you to all who assisted the children with this project. We also thank
Reverend Bowman and Linda for delivering our Easter foods to Kindercottage. The BCE is proud of teaching our kids to help other kids in need and the children have been very excited by this project. We thank Tricia Gardner for teaching our First Communion class. First Communion will be celebrated on April 22nd during the 10:30 service. The Kuhlenschmidt Scholarship Sunday will be observed
on April 15th. Our Sunday School offering, as well as any donations from the congrega-tion, will be collected on the 15th and for-warded to Eden. All confirmands are re-
quired to attend Holy week services. If there is a valid family reason that you can't at-
tend, please talk to Charissa as soon as pos-sible. If you are a graduate of high school,
college, trade school, masters program, etc, this year, please contact the church of-fice. You will be recognized on May 27th. Hope to see all of you in Sunday School.
