Just a quick , yet sincere
THANKS to ALL of you who had anything to do with the success of UC Kids ’ Family Dance & Hula Hoop Night ! Whether it was prayer or helpful hands … THANK YOU ! We had over 125 people come out despite the bad weather ! Thanks to Laura Jones for bringing Hawaii here to University City UMC through our décor ! Kristen Hickling outdid herself with a palm tree made of pineapples ( pictured left ). The Children ’ s Ministry CREW worked hard to put on a rocking good time . After all the hard work , UC Kids Dance and Hula Hoop Night exceeded expectations !
UCUMC Weekday School : “ Jesus said , ‘ Let the little children come to me .’”— Matthew 19:14 Did you know that every other week the children enrolled in UCUMC Weekday School do just that ? They visit the Chapel to participate in a worship service just for them . In a few short minutes they worship , sing , pray and hear a Bible story that embodies a basic Christian truth ; e . g . God keeps his promises . In this way we are regularly planting the seeds of faith in all the children who attend school here . One of our 4-year old classes has put their faith into action this year . Each time they go to chapel , the children are asked to bring canned food and on their way to the chapel , they drop those cans of food off in the narthex to help the backpack ministry at David Cox Elementary . It has warmed my heart to see this class participate intentionally and consistently in one of the church ’ s ongoing mission projects in a way that further links faith with action . I hope that it warms your heart as well . – Debbie Swartzel , Director of UCUMC Weekday School .
