Children and Family Ministry News
February is a very busy month for our Christopher Kids and Families!! Yesterday, our Sweet Studies group continued working on our Blessing Bags 2.0 project. The kids decorated the bags and made cards to add a sweet personal touch. In case you aren’t aware, the Blessing Bag ministry is led by our very own Mari Abbate. These bags are lovingly assembled by a group of committed Christophers who just want our less fortunate neighbors to feel loved.
Here is the list of items our kiddos need donated in order to get these bags done. If you can, please donate an item or two. We will have a marked receptacle in the Parish Hall this Sunday. We hope to get our first batch of Blessing Bags out into the community before the end of the month.

This Saturday, February 8th, we are hosting our first Wiggle Worship and Family Movie Night. The service will take place outside on the Parish Hall lawn, and will begin at 4:30. Make sure to bring something to sit on and a picnic dinner. We will then move into the Parish Hall to watch the movie "Frozen." It should be a fun evening!!
This Sunday, February 9th, our Godly Play story focus is John Lewis. Just like the mustard seed, he was very small but did BIG things. February is Black History Month so we're going to be weaving our Godly Play parables together with a few amazing people who help bring the parables alive for the kiddos.
As always, we would love to add a few more willing adults to the Godly Play Teacher Team. If you are feeling led to help facilitate our wonderful Godly Play program, please let me know.
Have a wonderful week!
Walking in Love-
AA
