Christian Educator Notes Cheryl Moles

THANK YOU to all that participated in the Lenten Series. I appreciate the
meals prepared by the Deacons, Christian Nurture Commission, Worship Commis-
sion, Mission Committee and Church Life Church Action Commission. Thank you to
Kevin Buchanan and Connor Scanlon for their study leadership. There was a crew
that set up tables and chairs and then reset for Sunday mornings. As for the ele-
mentary class, I dont know who had more fun me or the kids! The surprise and
spontaneity of lessons kept us all engaged and eager to learn more about Lent. We
didnt quite get all 40 topics done, but got a good overview of the meaning of the
Lent and Easter seasons.

CPR training w ill be held on Saturday, April 8 from 9 am to noon. This in-
cludes AED training. Everyone is welcome. The cost for certification is $25 or you
may observe and learn without being tested for free.
