As you read this we are busy preparing for the Advent Season, can you believe we’ve reached this time of year so quickly? Join us, Mr. Al Fougere and the Choir at our Hanging of the Greens Service on November 30th at 7p.m. as we decorate and prepare St. Mark’s for the Christmas season.The Christian Education Committee continues to oversee the Sunday School program in the absence of a Superintendent. We have a very small registration this year, but are pleased to welcome Madeline and Thomas to our Sunday School table, we hope you are enjoying it as much as we are enjoying getting to know you both.
The One Room Sunday School continues to suit our needs as it is a curriculum for a variety of ages. The Christian Education Committee decided to send out letters of reminder to all families at St. Mark’s who had Sunday School aged children and encourage them to make Sunday School a part of their Sunday. Sunday School started off with a celebration and a time to get reacquainted after the summer. Cupcakes and juice helped to make the day a little sweeter. We are busy preparing the children for the Advent Season so they will realize Jesus is the reason for the Season!
The Christian Education Committee would like to thank Rev. LeGrow on a wonderful graduation service in June. The service was completely directed to the graduates and covered many topics they will have to deal with as they move on to the next stage of their lives. Thank You for making it a “Grads Service”!
Christian Education lost a dear friend in July, Jean MacKeigan was a dedicated former member of our committee for many years and always felt Christian Education was important in the lives of the youth of our Church, she will be missed.
Soon it will be the time of year when you might be asked to sit on a committee at St. Mark’s. We ask you to consider joining Christian Education, your ideas just might be the ones which will make a difference.
Joy & peace to all this Christmas Season.
