The Education Committee continues in its commitment  to provide Children's Church during worship, except for Communion Sundays.  By doing this, we encourage our youth to participate in the communion service.  This helps emphasize that they are a full-fledged part of our church —they don’t have to be 18 or even confirmed to participate in this ritual.

We had a short meeting after church on January 29.  Attending were Barbara Lewis, Nancy Beasley, Tawney Massie, and Vendetta Moore.  Vendetta had an idea of something for the children to do in honor of Black History Month.  This came off on February 19, which was also Human Rights Sunday.  Vendetta and the kids did a great job!  Maybe we can do something like that again.

Since we have had such small numbers of children, we have changed our Children’s Church format to sharing Bible stories.  Sometimes we also have a craft that goes along with the story.  The problem has been that we don't know which story was shared the previous week.  So, we will be keeping a list of what each teacher did for their Sunday. 

Our teachers are:  1^st Sunday - Michele Ublasi; 2^nd Sunday - Communion; 3^rd Sunday - Nancy Beasley; 4^th Sunday - Vendetta Moore; 5^th Sunday (if there is one) - Barbara Lewis.  Thanks, Vendetta for all your help!

We have between 3 and 10 people that regularly attend our adult class on Sunday mornings at 8:15 a.m.  We meet in the Education Bldg and welcome any who would like to be a part of this study group.

As always:  if you have ANY ideas on how to make our education programs better, please give me a call (373-3966).  We are always looking for new things to try and new helpers for any of our programs.
