Amherst Community Church

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the pancake breakfast and the spaghetti supper. Both were a smashing success. Because of the great success of the pancake breakfast, the Christian Education Board decided to donate proceeds of the spaghetti supper to the Blinds Up campaign. Through the generosity of our church family, we were able to donate $281! Thank you!

Palm/Passion Sunday

Families are encouraged to gather in the narthex before church and parade with us as we celebrate Jesus' joyous entry into Jerusalem.

 Holy Week for Kids

Consider attending the Maundy Thursday meal at church.It begins at 6:30 with a simple supper and concludes with a worship service.This is a great way to set the tone for Good Friday, without the major drama.

There will be a very moving service on Friday night. It might be a bit too intense for the younger crowd, but your older kids may find it meaningful.

Easter Sunday begins a new season and with it all the bright and beautiful colors of spring!We will have small goodie bags for the children at the service, and although everyone is encouraged to stay and celebrate, we will have some fun activities for those children unable to sit through the service.

Vacation Bible School

Mark your calendars: August 10-14. We will be hitting the beach as we surf the scriptures! See Deb Cullen for volunteer opportunities.

 Please join us in welcoming the new crew of Sunday school teachers:

• Neil Faller              Pre-K
• Julia Faller             K and 1
• Jennifer Schiller     2, 3 and 4

Julie Cole & Mariely Downey will will be team teaching 5, 6  and 7.

Linda Kaczor has been doing an outstanding job working with our confirmands (8 and 9) and will continue in this role.

Finally Steve & Shelly Coppola and Stacy Nichols have been working with our senior high students and will also continue to do so.

Again, thank you so much for all your efforts!

Linda Kaczor and Pastor Scott are working with the confirmation class for our 8^th and 9^th graders, culminating in their confirmation in the spring. This offers a unique opportunity to our potential confirmands to explore their faith and carefully consider the step they are about to take. Watch here for information, and encourage our young people, as well as Linda and Pastor Scott, as they embark on this important journey.
