Profiles January 2006

The 4 & 5th grade Children in Worship class has bought 10 chickens with their offering money for a needy family somewhere in the world, through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Program.

ATTENTION CHILDREN AGE 3 THROUGH 5TH GRADE

Coming this month you will notice that all of your worship folders are being updated!
There will be new crayons, bookmarks, and new information to help you understand what’s happening during the church service. Take time to read this—it’s good stuff!

These folders will also have new name labels on them to make it easier to find your
own folders. After church each week, please try to return it to the same general area
so that they stay in alphabetical order; this will make the folder easy to find the next week when you’re looking for it. If you bring a friend to church, he/she can use one of the folders with the name “Visitor” on it.

The folders will be in a new location—just to the right of the front door.

If you don’t see a folder on the shelf with your name on it by the end of January, please write your name (or have an adult help) on the list which will be on top of the folder shelf. We’ll get one made up for you as soon as possible. Enjoy!

The Children’s Taskforce

Expert ski lovers in our church want to introduce YOU to the fun of
cruising down the slopes. Spend the night playing games and hanging
with your friends in CADILLAC MI and then learn how to SKI at
CABERFAE. Full scholarships are available for this event. Call Karen
for details.

Want to have the best time babysitting ever? Join us on January 21st
from 5:30 to 10:30 and play with the best kids in the world –the ones
at FPC. This is a fundraiser for the mission trip. We will be
playing games, showing movies and generally entertaining the youngest
FPC’ers here at the church for a ZANY evening packed jammed full of
Karen-planned games and activites. Bring yourself along a sack or fast
food dinner, and get ready to PLAY with the KIDS!

***SPLASH!!!!!!***** How does 13,000 sq ft of indoor heated pools, a
65 FT indoor water slide, water geysers, whirlpools, and a 100′
outdoor water slide sound? As a thank you to the youth who go on the
mission trip to sunny SD in June, we will be spending a little time at
ATLANTIS WATER PARK on our return trip home. Scholarship money is
available, and it isn’t too late to sign up to go on this trip. Come
spend a week with your friends and help others on the Native American
reservation!
