Christian Education For Our Youth

I am amazed that we are fast approaching the end of another Sunday School year; Rally Sunday seems like a few weeks ago. Our last day of Sunday School and Kid’s Klub will be Sunday, May 20th. Nursery will continue throughout the summer. This will be my last time to make you aware of the holes we have in our staff for next year and I hope you will give prayerful consideration to giving your time to help.

At this moment we are still in need of 2-3 teachers to work with next year’s J2A/Confirmand class, this is a small class (currently 3 children) and Maria will handle the Confirmation preparation material, but we need teachers to work with our Journey to Adulthood curriculum. If we get enough people it would only be a commitment of twice each month. Also, we will be in need of a permanent nursery attendant; this is a paid position and although we have just gotten Miss Sasha, she will be leaving for college in August. Please let me know if you are willing to help.

The preparations for our new Atrium are coming along very nicely and while we will still be needing assistance, thanks to all the wonderful people who have donated their time and talent to getting this sacred space ready for the first class in September. The new space will be located in the current Rite 13 room at the end of the hall for those who would like to take a peek!

I would like to ask any/all of you who have children or grandchildren who are graduating from high school or college this year to please send me information and a picture of your graduate. We love to have a bulletin board full of Mediator’s best and brightest or a “brag board” as I like to call it. Just send, as soon as you can, a sentence or two about where they are graduating from and their future plans.

As the Sunday school year and this article come to an end, I would just like to express my sincere love and gratitude to everyone who has taught, assisted or volunteered to help our Mediator kids this year. You all have busy lives and your contributions are appreciated more than words can say. Mediator is truly an extraordinary place.
