Everyone is welcome to join in the Button Cross Canvas Cross+Gen event, on March 10, at 10:00 a.m., in Fellowship Hall. Come explore the Lenten theme through meaningful discussion while designing your own cross!
The First Grade Lord’s Prayer Milestone will be on March 17. Students and their parents or caring adults will attend a pastor-led Family Time at 10:00 a.m., in the Friendship Room, where you will make beautiful “Our Father” wooden cross ornaments and discuss this milestone in faith. Then, during the 11:00 Festive worship service, you will lead the congregation in the Lord’s Prayer. Family Time will be in lieu of Sunday School for Sunday learners on March 17.
All students age four through fifth grade will sing in the 11:00 a.m. Festive worship service on March 17. If your child is a Sunday learner, please pick him or her up from Sunday School, show your child where you will be sitting in worship, and then help him or her line up outside the Library to sing.
The Four- and Five-Year-Olds Preschool Walk with Jesus Milestone will be celebrated in all worship services on March 31, with a video highlighting the students’ moments shared with Plush Jesus. If you have not yet signed your child up to carry Plush Jesus for the week, email Melissa Nesdahl, mnesdahl@oslchurch.com, to plan a time. All four- and five-year-old preschool students will go to a pastor-led Family Time at 10:00 a.m. to talk through and celebrate this milestone in faith. Family Time will be in lieu of Sunday School for Sunday learners.
