Special Change for Next Sunday: 3/25/12

Happy Spring Break Sunday School Families!!!

Last Sunday we discussed worship. Have you used your dinner discussion sheet yet? Check the last blog post to get a copy if you missed last Sunday or if your van ate your copy on the way home from church! J

To help reinforce what we learned last week, there will not be a regularly scheduled children’s Sunday school class but instead all children will go to the worship service to participate in cooperate worship with the Body of Christ. Ginny Malfa has been so gracious to help out by making special sheets for all children to help them engage in the service and sermon. Son Dollars will also be passed out for attending the service. Our son tag board will be in the Narthex so don’t forget to pick up your tag on the way into the sanctuary. For the children of those adults that are attending the discipleship class at 9:00am, your children are invited to sit with Ginny during the service so you can still be a part of your class.

If you have any questions, please contact me anytime at bkbetz@hotmail.com. The church office should also be able to help answer any questions you may have about next Sunday 561-746-8116.

Don’t forget to bring in items for our annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 7th at 9am. There is a basket in the Narthex where items can be placed such as small toys, stickers, and individually wrapped candy (no chocolate please).

Have a safe and exciting Spring Break and we look forward to seeing everybody next Sunday!

This week at Sunday school we will be emptying our backpacks? hmmmmm? Curiosity got you yet? Make sure you're there early so we can jump right into all of the fun! There will be no Son Mart this week, apparently I was a little over excited last week and had it one week early. Sorry about that!

One last note for all parents to think and pray about: we will be starting new Sunday school curriculum soon. It's a super fun and energetic curriculum that will require a lot of extra hands. Our needs consist of:
Small Group Leaders, materials provided and commitment is every other Sunday.
Games Leader, commitment is every other Sunday
Snack Leader, help the children create fun snacks that coincide with the lesson, commitment is every other Sunday.

Please let me know ASAP if you would be interested in any of these areas of service.

SEE YOU SUNDAY, WHAT DOES PROVERBS 20:11 SAY?

Fun for this Sunday: February 5th!

Don't forget about our unfinished scripture verse from last week. Find the following scripture in the book of Proverbs and tell us where we can find it:

"Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" Proverbs ___:___

If you can bring in the answer, you will earn 4 son dollars. Speaking of son dollars.....this Sunday is the first Sunday of the month so that could only mean one thing:

IT'S SON MART!!!!!

Come join us for a great Sunday together as we gear up for the Super Bowl and remind ourselves of just how Super God is and how Super he made each of you!!

We will be collecting can goods for the food pantry. Bring your can goods and place them on the table in the Narthex for  the team you will be cheering on during the big game. We may not be able to predict the Super Bowl outcome, but it will be fun to see which team earns the most canned goods.

See you Sunday!
