From the RE Director
the little things........
 Jesus said in the Gospel of Luke, "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones," a reflection of a great and deep truth. Our theme this year in Religious Education emphasizes the many small ways in which we grow both as individuals and as a Church community.
In the face of so many of the obstacles of life our response is either to hope for dramatic change or to retreat into the belief that we cannot do anything to make things better.
Being faithful in the little things is the quietly radical belief that every small act that we commit for good has a dramatic impact in the world and in our lives.
So join us for a year of "little things," small yet deeply important steps along the road to living a life of meaning and spirit.
Church School :
It is difficult to believe that we are into our second trimester of Church School. We made the switch last Sunday and our new teachers were wonderful! They are: Anne Johnson, Ken Johnson, Elizabeth Robey, Ellie Handleman, Clayton Handleman, Jen Sulc, and Derek Sulc. We also thank our excellent first trimester teachers. They were: Mary Nickerson, Elizabeth Robey, Laura Page, Eric Page, Sue Keady, Tony Keady, Patti Walters, and Carrie Brandon. Thanks to all for doing this “noble work.” If you have been away for awhile (or even for years!) we would love to see you back.
And this from Ellie Handleman, who is coordinating our Baby Care program:
What’s better than a baby? A baby you can take care of for an hour and then give back!! We are looking for volunteers to stay in babycare for one Sunday so that the parents of the little ones can enjoy a much-needed hour of adult time in the service. If all of us who haven’t had a tiny one in a while volunteered for just one Sunday, we could fill up the babycare schedule and make our church even more welcoming for families with babies. Please contact Ellie Handleman at ehandleman@comcast.net or Stuart Twite at dreslt@live.com to get on the schedule. We have purchased a High Definition monitor so that you can hear the service while you take care of our babies!
Many blessings
