All-Church Events

Integral to our lives as Christians is remembering and reliving the central stories of our faith. Also essential is the fellowship of the Body of Christ - all of us together, in worship, service and learning. We think of ourselves as an extended family, a "village" of Christ's people. With this in mind we offer the following All-Church events especially designed to include children and youth:

September 13	CE Board's Family Breakfast
October 3-4	Family Retreat at La Foret (register by Sept. 21)
November 1	UNICEF Sunday (different cultural clothing & international foods at Fellowship time)
November 8	Home Tour lunch and decoration party
December 20	Soup lunch after worship followed by Christmas Caroling to home-bound members
December 24	Family Worship at 5:00 pm, Candlelight Service with Communion at 10:30 pm.
January 10	Baptism of Christ Sunday - worship designed to include children.
January 31	Empty Bowls painting for OUR Center following worship and soup lunch
February 16	Shrove Tuesday pancake supper, carnival fun, and Service of Ashes
March 14	Presentation of "Moses and the Freedom Fanatics" in worship
April 1	Maundy Thursday - reenacting Jesus' last days
April 4	Easter, worship includes children. Annual Easter Egg Hunt after worship.
May 23	All-church picnic following worship and fund raiser for youth mission trips

Plus: picnics in the park in the summer and various family camping outings. Our Dinner with Friends
