Sunday School Picnic -- June 14th

Hope everyone is hyped for the big picnic...and the "very first Church Picnic" play performed by all our kids and written by congregant, Wayne Bryant. A perfect close to the Sunday School year. We'll be dressed a tad bit more informally than in this photo...but you can bet there will be watermelon!

By the way, this blog will close down soon as I leave for summer R&R which means gardening, reading, and just spending time with my honey.

See you at the end of August for Vacation Bible School
August 17th through 21st.
Have a great summer.
God's peace.

"Give to us laughter"

Yesterday we celebrated Humour Sunday at Meaford United Church. I hope everyone left with a light heart, I certainly did. Many thanks for all those encouraging words on my children's story and reflection (some might call it a sermon). The weather was perfect too.

Today it is a "blustery day" and the rain is coming down, down, down. So... I am preparing for May 3rd when Jackie Ralph will be coming to do a puppet show on self-esteem for the Sunday School. It gives me cheery thoughts to think of all our wonderful youngsters and some of our not-so-youngsters enjoying the exuberance and grace that Jackie has bubbling out of her. Oh and anyone of any age is welcome!

I will again be in the pulpit. This time all alone as Rev. Judith is taking some well earned away time. Before Jackie goes upstairs for her time with the Sunday School, she will sing the 23rd Psalm. Just knowing that "the Lord is our Shepherd" should help us to realize how wonderful we are...

Also Jackie tells me today that she is available and willing to do a puppetry workshop with all interested. It will be toward the middle of June. Keep tuned for details. You can post a comment here and I'll get back to you with updates regularly.

Also we have chosen our VBS (Vacation Bible School) program for 2009...It is Camp E. D. G. E. We are gonna' have a blast, so get ready to register! Whoo hoo you won't want to miss out on the fun!
