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.
