The kids participated in a Passover-Seder feast after bringing the cross into position in our sanctuary. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 04-24-2025 Today Pastor Jeannine related the story of Jesus’s final journey to Jerusalem. She told of how Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, as the children ate a Seder meal. She told the children, as written in the book of Exodus, that the King Pharaoh of Egypt was worried that the Jewish people would fight against him. He made the Jewish people slaves. God chose Moses to help the Jewish people out. He wanted the Jews to go into the desert and be set free. God turn the water in Egypt into blood, locusts ate the Egyptians food, and plagues were sent to Egypt. After the 10th plague, the Jews were told to leave Egypt. They left so quickly that their bread dough did not rise, which is the significance of matzah. The Red Sea opened up with a dry sand path, and the Jews were allowed to escape. The Seder meal is one sign which signifies the path of slavery to freedom for the Jewish people. Pastor Jeannine told the children the significance of the items and the Seder plate. These included celery dipped in saltwater, Matzah bread, bitter herbs, charoset (a paste of apples and spices), egg, and meat. The adults learned about the Seder tradition as well! Easter Blessings, as we celebrate the most important period in our Christian lives during holy week. Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed. Please join us at our Sunday services as we worship together at 9 AM. We have nursery services in Sunday school for the children.
The Sunday School kids were busy! Becki Whitford had Rory, Meridyn, Charlotte and Remi make boxes for Jesus where they could write ideas in the boxes of how they could give their best to Jesus. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 04-17-2025 Pastor Jeannine related the story from John 12: 1-8, of how Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived. Jesus had recently raised Lazarus from the dead. Martha was working in the kitchen preparing a meal while Jesus was their guest. She was somewhat annoyed at Mary because Mary was not helping her but was spending time with Jesus and was anointing his feet with expensive perfume. Martha then served the dinner. Judas was mad because he wondered why the perfume was not sold at the market rather than being used on Jesus. The story shows that Mary’s time was most importantly spent with Jesus. Jesus defended Mary saying they would not always have him with them. Jesus knew what was coming next. The kids made beautiful boxes in Sunday school and placed ideas of how they could best serve Jesus, by things that they could do or just by praying. This is a lesson to all of us to be quiet and pray with God. We welcome our snow birds, beginning to come back from the sunny south. Norm and Sherri Hunt and Blanche Fingar have returned, and it was so good to see them all in church this past Sunday. Only if they had brought warmer weather with them!!! This is Easter week. There are many activities locally that people can join to remember the events of this week- including its sadness with the last supper on Maundy Thursday, the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday , and then Jesus’s triumphant resurrection on Easter Sunday. Our Easter service will be at the regular time at 9 AM at church. Please feel free to come and join us for a beautiful service.
The kids sang their hearts out for music Sunday Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 04-10-2025 We enjoyed Music Sunday this past Sunday, with lots of familiar hymns, including three choir selections from our adult choir and three adorable selections from our kids. In addition, Meriden Whitford sang a triumphant solo, God is Good! We are glad many friends and relatives could join for our special Sunday. Marguerite Miller has been working over the past month with our children for their musical presentations. They knew their lines and the songs by heart. Ron Miller picked out special music for choir to sing for music Sunday. Thank you, Ron and Marguerite for tedious work making music Sunday a terrific success, and our organist Elly Stempien for always choosing the hymn selections for us to sing every week. Our next 5th Sunday musical Sunday will be in June. Pastor Jeannine shared with the kids how exciting it is to find things. Sometimes we may feel lost, but when we come back to Jesus, he is always so excited. We are always welcome into Jesus‘s loving arms. Pastor Jeannine had a big box labeled, lost and found, including a ring, a sock and various objects. Our nurture committee has decided that on fifth Sundays we will also pass the buckets for a donation to a charity. This month we chose Care Net as our charity. They do so much locally in our Penn Yan area, and spoke with us earlier in the year about their goals and programs. We love to get together for fellowship! This past Saturday we had a taco dinner where everyone brought fixings for the tacos. Were they ever tasty! There were over 30 people in attendance. Thanks also to Jean Murdock and Marilyn James for Sunday snacks. We welcome our visitors! Come join us at 9 AM Sunday for our weekly service and Bible Study Mondays at noon.
