Friendship Circle Reminder

This is just a reminder for those who signed up to be included in the friendship circle ~

When you have been "friended", select the name  of someone you would like to friend off the Master List.  (which is posted on the bulletin board).  Cross that name off the list. You have 2 weeks to friend that person.  Think of something which you can do for that person in the way of "friending" them.  It might be a dozen homemade cookies, a few wildflowers, a pie, a nice letter, something you purchased or made. There is no amount that needs to be spent--no right thing to do. It is all up to you.  The person you picked then has 2 weeks to friend someone else. And so this will continue until everyone on the list has been friended by someone. At the end of the year maybe we can have a party and discuss whether this is a good idea to continue or see if it needs some adjusting. Have fun with this!

An article that I saw tonight and wanted to share with everyone!

Dear Parents with Young Children in Church

I thought the article was a great reminder for all of us with young children to remember that what we are doing is really, really important! I definitely have my rough mornings with my children in church some Sundays, but luckily I am surrounded by fellow members (young and old) who are happy to see children growing their faith in our church.

Don't forget we have Bible School this week, Wednesday - Friday from 10:00 to 2:00 and you are all welcome to stop in and see the excitement in the children's eyes as they grow their faith even more! It might be a little crazy at times, but we will all be having a great time together! Also, please join us for our program on Sunday, June 2nd at 9:30. The children are always so excited to show everyone what they learned and sing fun songs! We will also be having cookies and bars downstairs following the program. Hope you can all join us!

Have a great week ~ Jodi
