All-Church Events

Integral to our lives as Christians is remembering and reliving the central stories of our faith. Also essential is the fellowship of the Body of Christ - all of us together, in worship, service and learning. We think of ourselves as an extended family, a "village" of Christ's people. With this in mind we offer the following All-Church events especially designed to include children and youth:

September 12	CE Board's Family Breakfast
Sept. 25-26	Family Retreat at La Foret (register by Sept. 3)
November 7	UNICEF Sunday (different cultural clothing & international foods at Fellowship time)
	Home Tour lunch and decoration party (date to be announced)
December 18	Soup lunch after worship followed by Christmas Caroling to home-bound members
December 24	Family Worship at 5:00 pm, Candlelight Service with Communion at 10:30 pm.
January 2 or 9	Intergenerational worship designed to include children.
	Empty Bowls painting for OUR Center following worship and soup lunch
