Episcopal Church of Our Saviour
APRIL                          2014 

   Welcome Spring!  We have many exciting children's activities planned for the month of April.  In addition to Holy Week and Easter, we have a new Parents Night Out program launching on April 4 (see details below.)  We're also traveling to Interlachen for a fun-filled day of fellowship and relationship building with our companion parish - St. Andrew's. 
  
   If you haven't made it to a Wednesday Night Kids Club meeting - now is the time to try it out!  Our Lenten program wraps up on April 9 and we'll resume our meetings on April 30 with a fun four week series.
  
   I would love to hear from you!  Please email me with any ideas, questions or concerns.
  
Much Love,
  Beth
