Spring is here, isn't it?

We are in the frustrating NE Ohio weather cycle of warm one day and then cold the next. I just had a look at the weather forecast and we are set to have a 30 degree temperature difference between Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and it looks like it will be some time before things level out. But the good news is that the flowers are just as confused as we are, and my yard is full of crocuses - a sure sign that consistently warm days are not far away.

For me, this means more chores as the warm days welcome open windows and spring cleaning! For the church, this means that the Easter holiday is right around the corner and more events are on the way. You'll want to stay in the loop, as always, by checking this page for updates and information. I purposely don't bombard your email inbox and instead make sure that this page is updated, so you can check back any time.

Easter is just a few weeks away

We have a late Easter this year, so we are able to squeeze in a few things before the Easter break begins. Here are some dates you should be aware of:

Our 6th annual NERF GAMES event for both Mid-High and Primary Pandemonium (grades 2 through 5 and their friends) will happen the evening of April 7th from 6:30-8PM! We will give away trophies, prizes, candy and medals to everyone who participates! Though registration isn't *technically* required, it is helpful for me to be sure we have the right number of prizes for everyone! Eye protection is provided, as are basic NERF toys and darts. Your child CAN bring their own NERF toy from home, but that toy must use the standard NERF darts, and you should NOT bring darts from home. You can register below!

The Palm Parade will take place during the beginning of the 11AM service on Palm Sunday, April 13th. Children are encouraged to grab a palm leaf (provided) and process into the sanctuary with Pastor Beau and Pastor Mark at the beginning of the service. Please try to be present by 10:50am and in place (already checked-in!) so that you won't miss the procession!

After the children's time in the 11am service on April 13th, Palm Sunday, we will have our annual Easter Egg hunt for all kids age 10 and below! Kids will leave the sanctuary with our volunteers and look for colored eggs filled with all kinds of goodies to take home. Easter bags are provided!

As more events pop up in the calendar, I will add them to the events list below. Remember, the list below is not all the events of the church, but rather, just events which specifically pertain to the Children and Family Ministries of Avon Lake UCC. If you have an idea for an event, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Beau
