Announcements for the week of 4/4/11

This is a very exciting time with lots of great things going on! Last Sunday's passover lesson was a lot of fun for the older kids and the littles learned that they are made in God's image while making picture frames.
Memory Verse"'Hosanna to the Son of David!' Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! - Matthew 21:9

This Sunday is slow down Sunday, so our usual children's activities are not happening. Instead, kids are invited to be part of the big group for a fun potluck breakfast. After Kevin's discussion about children last week (listen to it here if you missed it), this is a great opportunity for our community to interact with kids and for kids to be a part of the larger church community. Invite your kids to help make a dish to bring with you to the potluck and they will really feel involved!

Also, beginning Monday April 11th for the whole week we are celebrating a new tradition: FAMILY WEEK! This week is all about connecting with your family and I will be posting special activities, ideas and reflections on the blog and Facebook group to help fire up your creativity to spend more time together as a family celebrating the people who make your family complete (whether biological or chosen family). This is a great opportunity to spend some intentional time together and reflect on what it means to love others as God first loved us.

Let the countdown begin! Easter is only three weeks away and City Church is planning a very special celebration centered around our kids! There will be delicious treats, coloring Easter eggs, and a super fun Easter egg hunt! Invite your friends and come prepared for a morning of fun, laughter and talk about the importance of this special day! This is a great time to invite your neighbor, your child's school friend, our co-worker and their family to experience our community. Pick up some fliers to invite your friends on Sundays at church. We are so excited for this great celebration!! Woo hoo!

*Please save your egg cartons for us to carry eggs home in! Drop them off to Sarah on any Sunday morning prior to Easter. Thank you!! *
