Dear St. John's Families,


Welcome back to Sunday School & Youth Group on the 4th Sunday in Lent, a season in which we are looking for ways to Make Room for Love to Grow. Don't forget, we lose an hour of sleep tonight ~ a good reason to tuck in early and be on time for church! We are beginning our Easter Giving Eggs project with kids of all ages.

EASTER GIVING EGGS

Students of all ages will start forming our annual Easter Giving Eggs campaign by thinking about some prompts. Children will be led through several exercises to consider their world and how God might be calling them to be healers. Students will be asked to imagine, wonder, and listen for the tug of God's call in them, sharing and creating art and eggs, culminating in a Poster Gallery Art Show and Egg-xhibit on April 24. The whole community will be called to support this annual show of giving and sharing gifts by sponsoring an egg with a financial donation. As our Easter Giving Eggs rise in value, students will be working to share their unique gifts and passions with our community. The donations received will be distributed to nonprofit organizations that align with the causes our students have brought forward. Past donations have been given to Kittery Land Trust, Episcopal Relief Fund, and Gather Food Pantry. Last year we gave away almost $3K! This is an exercise of lessening our waste and going deeper into the call to care for our world, empowering our children to make an impact this season.
