November 2022
HELLO FROM US!
We had SUCH A BLAST on Sunday with lunch and our scavenger hunt of Central. We’re grateful for everyone who joined, helped manage the food line, supported the exploration and connected with one another. There will be more opportunities for fun like this!
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT REHEARSAL SCHEDULE!
Greetings all! We are still hoping to hear from families if their child is going to be participating in the Christmas Pageant (middle schoolers welcome). We have only heard from one family so far. So please reach out to Emily Hilimire, directly, at ehilimire@gmail.com! We do not have a lot of time for rehearsals, so we really need to make them count!
November 27th we will rehearse after church with SPEAKING PARTS ONLY. Lunch will be provided for kids and parents. Youth group will take place during this time, too!
December 4th we will rehearse before church, during our Sunday School time! So, please get your kids to the church at 9AM! (Advent lunch)
December 11th we will have rehearsals before AND after church! So, again get your kids to the church at 9AM! Our afternoon rehearsal will be around 12:30-2PM. Lunch will be provided for kids and parents!! Youth group will take place during this time as well.
Again, please let Emily know if your child will be involved, so we can solidify parts, scripts, get out scripts to learn lines, and lunch planning!
We’re so excited about all of the fun happening on Sunday. There is a lot to take advantage of and in lieu of evening youth group, we’ll have our service activity as a part of Sunday school and then eat with our Central family for lunch!
A few notes:
CHOIR at 9am: Don’t forget, the children and youth will sing in worship Sunday, November 13!
We will have regular rehearsals November 6, 13, and 20.
While there won’t be choir rehearsals on November 27, there will be a Christmas pageant rehearsal after worship for those with speaking parts only.
SUNDAY SCHOOL at 10am:
Children’s Sunday School – Please head up to the second floor around 9:45- 10:00! We will have two Sunday school rooms! One room is marked “PreK- 2nd,” and the other is marked “3rd-5th!” We look forward to seeing you!
Youth Sunday School (sixth to 12th grade) will take place in the Youth Suite. This week, our teachers are Anne Sciaronne, Gayle Knight and Ted Brothers! We’ll be doing a service project for the OAC by making sandwiches for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. All materials will be there and ready for you. Can’t wait!
ADVENT CALENDARS
I have ordered Advent Calendar’s from Sanctified Art! They are fun and interactive for the whole family throughout December.
So, make sure you come see me sometime on Sunday morning, so I can give your family one and cross you off the list! – Sam
