The Church is Changing!

We are grateful to the folks at Columbia Pictures for leaving our church in great shape. The grounds are being freshened, the rugs have been cleaned, and the painting will be done soon.

Our summer projects including painting parts of the outside of the building, rewaxing the floors, and getting our lights shining on the Steeple again. The changes will make for an amazing, like-new-203 year old building.

Don't miss the chance to experience our sacred space every Sunday at 9:30 starting June 28 (ten o'clock until then)!

Sign Up for the Goddard School!

The Goddard School needs you this summer. Over 14 days we will love 60 kids with attention they won't get from anyone else but you. You can volunteer for one day (only three hours), a week, or more.

For more info: http://goddardsummerprogram.blogspot.com/

We'll have another update next week!

Thank You!

The folks from the Grown Ups production were amazing--actors, crew, set managers. We're grateful for the experience and stay tune for more news about the final product.

Thank you especially to Matt Pietro and Jim Denman, and all the volunteers who supported this whirlwind experience!

Goddard School Program

The Goddard School Summer Program is on!

Here's the letter from our coordinator, Sally Fodor.

The Goddard School in Worcester
Summer Program 2009

We are currently working with the school’s administration on the details for this year’s summer program at the Goddard School. This will be for students advancing to 3rd and 6th grades next September. There will be approximately 125 students in total grouped by age and will rotate between different activities every hour.

The dates are confirmed and will be:

Week 1: Thursday, June 25 – Friday, June 26
Week 2: Monday, June 29 – Thursday, July 2
Week 3: Monday, July 6 – Thursday, July 9
Week 4: Monday, July 13 – Thursday, July 16

This year’s theme will be centered on the story Three Cups of Tea written by Greg Mortenson. This story is about one man’s mission to promote peace…one school at a time in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Volunteer Segments: We will need volunteers to help assist the students in the following rotations from noon to 2:30pm each day. I will post a sign up board soon in Fellowship Hall. We encourage all families to participate even if it’s for one day. Segments are:

Three Cups of Tea –activities will stem from the story
Community Garden – cultivates and plant food for area families
Arts & Crafts –activities will stem from the story
Reading – Students will read to us their favorite books
Music – singing, dancing & learning multi-cultural music

As I learn more, I will continue to share new information on how we will make a difference in these kids’ lives along with the lives of our families who participate.

If you have any questions please call me at 508-485-5689 or email me at sfodor5689@charter.net.

Thank you, Sally Fodor
