Hello Everyone, and happy March! These “Lenten” days are indeed getting longer: though we have plenty of cold and snowy days ahead, it isn’t too early to begin noticing signs of Spring (buttercups! Birds!). This Sunday, we share another Moses story, “The Burning Bush.” We will wonder together: why does God ask Moses to take…

As in past years, this week the children will hide an “Alleluia” banner after our Children’s Time, since we don’t say the word Alleluia from now until Easter. For children, Lent is simply a time to get ready for Easter (what does this mean, and feel like?). In Church School, we will tell the story…

Let’s enjoy eating fresh bread together as we reflect on the story of the Loaves and the Fishes. This is such a beautiful and rich story in the Bible to ponder. How does it feel to be fed and to feed others? We know there are people in our own community and throughout the world…

Hear ye, hear ye! In centuries past, a “pageant” was a platform with wheels that would roll into town and serve as a stage for a play – and though times have changed, the day has come to get our UCC Children’s Christmas pageant rolling. Our pageant will take place this Sunday, December 17th, during the…
