CHRISTIAN EDUCATION NEWS

Pastoral Care Guide Class

Beginning Wednesday May 14th at 10:00 AM a class will be held in the chapel at FCUCC. The book The Indispensable Guide to Pastoral Care by Sharyl B. Peterson will be discussed. Books are available to purchase in the church office at a cost of $15, or a copy may be checked out of the church library.
Why would you want to participate in a discussion about pastoral care? You are not a pastor. The book leads you to explore several issues that are pertinant to the living of our everyday Christian lives.
The group will meet each Wednesday morning for 10 weeks. Each session will be approximately 1 1/2 hours long. If you want more information contact Chuck Holmgren at 245-5870, or catch him at church.

  FIRST SUNDAY NIGHT SPIRITUAL MOVIESSUNDAY

           May 4th at 6:30 PM in Comfortable Mayflower
We’ll be showing “Little Buddha”...the story of a boy and his family who learn about a prince in a land of miracles. But the miracle becomes real when Tibetan monks appear, searching for their leader’s reincarnation -- who they believe has been reborn in the boy and as their worlds meet, the Americans go on an extraordinary adventure!

This will be the last FIRST SUNDAY NIGHT SPIRITUAL MOVIE until next October. If you have ideas for films to be shown, let Judy Lauer know (#242-5253).

AND...if you’d like to see one of the last six months’ specials, including “Ladies in Lavender,” “Ground Hog Day,” “Peaceful Warrior,” “Pay It Forward,” “Noél,” or “One Night With the King,” those DVDs are now in the Library to check out.

 Vacation Bible School
VBS is happening again this year with RAINBOW TRAIL LUTHERAN CAMP. It will be held at American Lutheran Church JUNE 9th-13th from 9 AM until 2 PM, except for preschoolers who need to be picked up at 12 Noon. Day Camp is open to children from preschool-5th grade. Preschoolers must be 3 and potty trained. Registration forms will be available soon—keep your eyes open for them. The cost is $20.00 for the first child and $15.00 for the second child, and scholarships are available if needed. We will be having lots of fun with the kids this week, doing activities such as making relay-for-life bags, a puppet show, water games, and tie-dying. (Make sure to bring a white shirt to tie-dye on Monday June 9th!) Children need to be registered for camp by MAY 31st.

Along with children, we need VOLUNTEERS for the week—we need YOU. We appreciate anything you can do, from providing snacks, lunches, hosting a dinner for the counselors, helping for a day or helping out all week. Whatever you can do we have an opportunity for you to come and help out with Vacation Bible School. All volunteers need to sign up by MAY 15th. There will be a sign-up sheet soon at the church.

We look forward to a wonderful week filled with fun and Jesus!! We need YOU there. INVITE all YOUR FRIENDS, too — we’d love to have them! If you have any questions feel free to contact Heidi Lindeman by email at heidiroseemilyrose@gmail.com, by phone 303-803-5491 or talk to me at church. Heidi Lindeman
