Note to Parents of Sunday School Students who are in Grades 3 & 4

Hello everyone,

As mentioned previously, this year we have added a “community service/good deeds” unit to our Sunday School curriculum and this week, it is grades 3 & 4 who will be doing this unit.

The plan is to take the kids to Brookfield Gardens to pick carrots which can then be donated to the Food Bank.

I am taking my van (can fit 6) and Bernie is also taking his truck to provide transport to Brookfield. We plan to leave at 10:30 a.m. sharp so we can have the kids back to the Church for around 11:30.

**The students should dress warmly and in clothes they don’t mind getting dirty.

Can each of you please respond to let me know if your child will be in church this Sunday and can participate so we know how many to plan for!

Thank you,
Grace

This week at Sunday School

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that the Sunday School will be going to Rosewood Residence this upcoming Sunday (October 25th).
Everyone is invited to wear their Halloween costumes so they can show them off to the residents! We will all meet at the church and then go to Rosewood together!
If you would like, you can bring cookies or a treat to share.

Last week in Sunday School the Kindergarten-Grade 2 class participated in a good deed! They made candy kebabs to sell at the bazaar table at the church supper happening tomorrow evening. All profits will go towards purchasing books for the school Jim & Cathy Parsons volunteer at.
If there are any kids interested in sitting at the bazaar table selling the candy kebabs tomorrow evening, please let us know!!

Thanks,
Debbie

Sunday School Update

Hello,

Just a few notes about Sunday School in the upcoming weeks.

This Sunday we will be continuing with the theme “The Lord is my Shepherd”.

Next Sunday (Oct 25th), we will be heading to Rosewood Residence. Everyone is encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and to bring some treats to share with the residents! More details to follow!

The Fall Roast Beef Supper is being held at the church on Saturday, October 24th. They are looking for some volunteers. If any kids are interested (parents too!) please get in touch with Cecil Frizzell (902-566-2337) or talk with him at church this Sunday.

Also at the roast beef supper the Sunday School will have a small table selling candy kebabs (made by the “Good Deeds” class in Sunday School) to raise money for Jim & Cathy Parson’s initiative to buy books for children in need. If any kid would be interested in looking after the table for part of the evening, please let us know!

Thanks!

Debbie

Terry Fox Run with Sunday School

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that this week we will be participating in the Terry Fox Run walk during our Sunday School time.
We will start off by hearing a little about Terry Fox’s story and then we will all head over to the trail for a walk. Please dress for the weather and for a walk!
We will also be contributing the Sunday School collection to the cause, so please bring a small donation if you wish!

It was great seeing everyone back last Sunday! We had a great morning of games, corn and fun!

If anyone is interested in helping out with teaching Sunday School, please let us know! We would love your help!

If you have any questions or ideas, please get in touch with myself or Grace or Bernie.

Thanks,
Debbie

Exciting Year of Sunday School Ahead!

Hello everyone,

We are getting ready for another exciting year of Sunday School! Welcome back to familiar faces and we are also excited to meet some new ones!

We will start the year off this Sunday (September 13th) with fun games and a corn boil! We hope to be outdoors for the games so please dress appropriate for the weather!

The following week (September 20th) we will be participating in a Terry Fox walk on the trail. Once again, please dress appropriate for the weather and for walking!

On September 27th, those over the age of 12 years will be serving a meal at the Upper Room in Charlottetown. More details will follow regarding that!

This year we will continue doing our Sunday School classes in a rotational style. We have added in a new component to the rotation though which we are very excited about– Community Service/Good Deeds!

We are sad to say that Jennifer will not be involved in Sunday School this year as she is moving off island. We definitely appreciate all of her guidance and help she has offered to the program over the past few years.

Also, if anyone is interested in teaching a Sunday School class or helping with a Sunday School class, please let us know! We would love some extra hands!

If you have any questions, comments or ideas about Sunday School, please get in touch with:
Debbie Smith
Grace McCourt
Kimberley Taweel
Bernie Dykerman

Thanks and hope to see you all this Sunday!!

Mtg POSTPONED!

THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO ENSURE A BETTER TURNOUT

A great thing has happened – the Sunday School is so large that we are running out of space!! 🙂

Your Input Is Needed!

  • WHAT: Vote by secret ballot on if to proceed with the proposal to build on a new $100,000 addition.
  • WHEN: TO BE ANNOUNCED
  • WHERE: Central Queens United Church, Hunter River

So… what is being done about this? Well co-superintendents Jennifer Carver and Bernie Dykerman have handed off this “problem” to the committee of Cecil Frizzell and Elizabeth Orr (recently joined by Brad Trivers), and a proposal has been prepared!

Essentially the proposal is to add on 4 rooms behind the North wall of the church (i.e. behind the stage):

  • a large classroom that will also serve as a choir room and provide access to the back of the stage
  • two smaller classrooms
  • a washroom

The cost is estimated to be $100,000. The project would start in winter/spring of 2013 for completion by fall 2013.

In order to gain approval to proceed about half of the cost- $50,000 – would have to be pledged in extra donations over the next three years. This means that enough people have to commit to giving extra money to this project as a lump sum or in regular donations (monthly, quarterly, yearly) to raise $50,000 by 2016.

Please come to the meeting or provide your input by email (brad@sunriseweb.ca, phone (940-2044), etc.

Thank you!
