Breakfast will be served during the Sunday School hour. If you are interested in helping, please let George Cooper know. The children have a wonderful surprise planned to honor their mothers. Hope to see you there! Sunday School News The Sunday School has been studying the Journey to the Cross for the past several weeks. The children learned what Jesus' life was like as a young boy. They made prayer shawls and tablets as well as learning what the Jerusalem Temple was like when Jesus worshipped there during Passover. They are learning about the events of Holy Week through cooking, science, storytelling, art, and games. They have made hot cross buns, learned about chromatography and made tableaus representing different scenes of the last week before Jesus' crucifixion. If you know a child who doesn't attend any Sunday School, please invite them to come. _________________________________________________ LOOKING AHEAD June 11th - Come have lunch with us at Belleplain State Forest following the Morning Worship Service.
