SUNDAY SCHOOL AT 9 A.M. WORSHIP AT 10:15 A.M.

Attendance: 137 Offering $985.00

Does your church welcome children? Sounds like an odd question

in this day and age. The truth is however that most churches idea of

welcoming children is to tuck them away in a nursery far away from

what the “big kids” are doing. That way they won’t disrupt the

important stuff that Adults do on Sunday morning. This is a far cry

from what Jesus talks about in the Gospels. Children are to be held

and incorporated into the church. Children are a vital part of a faith

community and not only should they be welcomed, but the

community should seek to involve children in every component of

it’s life; worship, education, service and

stewardship. Children should be seen.

Children should be heard. Children should

be celebrated. After all the kingdom of God

belongs to them.

hospitalized in Gettysburg

Hospital and Reda Garvick is a

patient at Genesis Healthcare in

Gettysburg.

It’s time to jump, jump, jump those jiggles out, clap, clap, clap those crazies out and

sing, sing, sing our praises out on Wacky Wednesday. For those who may be confused

the Totally Terrific Thursday singers sang this song every week last year as one of their

opening songs. What will be different this year is that their praises will not be sung out

on Totally Terrific Thursdays but will be singing out once again on Wacky Wednesdays.

The time remains the same from 4:00-5:30 p.m. The place remains the same at Pastor

Kielley and Liz’s house at 58 Maple Avenue, Littlestown and the agenda remains the

same with bible study time, crafts, singing and snacks. Children ages 4 through

whatever are encouraged to sign up on the sheet found on the Hospitality Table. Choir

started this week. Kids, ask those who attended last year and they will tell you we had

a totally terrific Thursday time and this year we plan on having a WACKY

WEDNESDAY TIME!
