Summer Intergenerational VBS
July 9th and 16th from 10:30 – 12:30 pm (Lunch is included!)
July 24 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Your Christian Education Team would like to invite you to bring your younger children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, or any young children in your care to our Summer VBS sessions! Spend some fun one-on-one time with the young people in your life as you hear a Bible story, engage in a craft and a game, and get up and dance!
This is a hands-on experience, and adults should plan to stay the entire time. We will be providing lunch for you and your children at the end of the AM sessions. We will be learning that when we are afraid, we can trust God (Psalm 56:3) and will be hearing the stories of Jacob’s Ladder, Young Jesus In The Temple, and Phillip Explains The Good News.
If you would like to participate, or if you have a relative, friend or neighbor who would like to participate with the children in their lives, please invite them….all are welcome! To RSVP or for questions, contact Wendy at sundayschool@noumc.org.
Exciting “Habitat for Humanity” Project Coming!
Join us July 18-19 in a meaningful service project for our whole community. In the course of just two days, we will be constructing the frame for a future Habitat for Humanity home located at E 143rd. St., Cleveland, OH. We will be working in the parking lot of the United Methodist Church of Berea! This is possible with the support of “Help Build Hope,” an organization that has helped many different communities build homes in their neighborhoods that are sent to their final location for finishing later. There are a variety of jobs for all skill levels, making this a wonderful intergenerational opportunity. There is NO COST to participate! If you would like to have a team tee shirt (no cost), please sign up by June 15th. You can come for an hour, or help as long as you can. Sign up on the clipboard located on the tables in the lobby.
Donations may be made online at https://secure.myvanco.com/L-Z426/campaign/C-125T6.
Please put “Help Build Hope” in the Note box. (Friday July 18 – 6-8 PM Adults Cutting Night) OR (Saturday July 19 – 8AM-8PM Family)
