....and boy, do we have a full month!
First off, let me say, "Family Fun Night" last night was an absolutely wonderful occasion shared with many friends. We 'built' sundaes, made crafts, played games, and watched "The Incredibles" together in Tower Chapel with our blankets and pillows spread out underneath us. Boy those sundaes were GOOD! Thanks to everyone that helped with set up and clean up.
More events for family fellowship ~
Wednesday Night "KidzAlive" continues and we too are following "The Way", our churchwide study with interesting activities on Wednesday night from 5:45 - 6:30 p.m. Any elementary school aged kids are welcome to join us. And if you like to sing praises to our Lord, you can follow it up with Children's Choir rehearsal with Ms Esta at 6:30!!
Saturday, March 16th - our 'field trip' to the "Shrine of Christ's Passion" in St. John, IN. We will be leaving Asbury Parking Lot at 10 a.m. and drive out to the Shrine together (or you can meet us there if it's more convenient!) I would suggest carpooling between families to save on gas! It will take us about 50 minutes to get to the Shrine. This is an OUTDOOR event - the Shrine is a walking pathway with beautiful sculptures and narrations depicting Christ's 'Passion' - it really a beautiful experience that will take us into Holy Week with a renewed sense of what it was like for Jesus. The tour can take 30 - 45 minutes, it is self directed so you can spend as much time as you wish at each station.
Afterward, we can all join together for lunch (if you wish) at "Northwoods" (just a mile or so north of the Shrine) - a big, fun, rustic restaurant with a buffet for $12.95. You can also order off the menu, if you'd like.
There is no fee for the Shrine (although there is a nice gift shop!!) and each of us can pay individually at the restaurant. Please let me know if you plan to join us (children@valpofumc.org) I will need a number for the restaurant!! So, let's pray for decent weather - and I look forward to being with you the 16th!
Two weeks later (3/30) we will hold our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Rogers Lakewood Park, from 10 - 11 a.m. There will be signs leading you to the hunt inside the park. Each age group, from the youngest to oldest, will go at different times, in separated areas, so everyone will be safe!
Helpers are needed for :
Egg Stuffing - Fellowship Hall, Wednesday 3/20, 5:45 - 7:30 - come when you can!!!!
Set Up, 9:15 - 10,
Welcoming and Signing in 10 - 11, and

** We are also taking donations of individually wrapped candy to fill 1000 eggs!!!! Please leave the candy in the marked box in the Welcome foyer at Franklin St. **
So much fun and fellowship in store, all in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Looking forward to being with you all at these events.
If you are going away for spring break, I pray you will travel safely and return refreshed! Ms. Karyn
