During the month of May in addition to our regular Sunday School lesson we will be practicing for our annual youth service. This year the Sunday School will be doing a skit called the "Two Little Pigs". If your child is interested in being part of our skit please let me know and I will provide the lines to practice. In addition, we will be presenting the first ever Chapel Orchestra. All Sunday School and youth group children are welcome to participate with any instrument they are learning to play. We will perform our rendition of "Joyful Joyful (Ode to Joy)" as never heard before. Starting this coming Sunday, if your child can already play Ode to Joy, we welcome them to play in the chapel. I will provide music transcribed for most instruments. For more information, contact John Lyga.Art Studio
Come and join us for painting on a Tuesday, 12pm to 3pm in the large Sunday school classroom. We work on our own projects and help each other out. It’s fun, relaxing, and we’re a friendly group.Any questions, contact Jenny Phillips 908-451-9638, jrpw26@gmail.com
