100% Attendance for March Trip
Every person in the Jr. High Sunday School Class was eligible to go on the March Attendance Trip to Laser Rock in Belleville and then out to eat at Fairview Heights.
To be eligible for these attendance trips, the kids must be at Sunday School for three months, not missing more than 3 weeks of attendance. Teachers, Mary H and Jane S are very proud of the kids for their commitment to the Sunday Schoolo Class. Most of the time, the kids only miss one or two weeks, for a family outing or if they are sick.
Sr. High Youth Fellowship
Mission Trip to Chicago

Will be working with homeless men, women and children, sharing the love of Christ through service, support and listening.
Will tell the story of our trip on Sunday, June 28 at the 10:30am worship service.
Jr. High Sunday School Class News
On Friday, March 20th the Jr. High Sunday School Class went to play Laser Tag at "The Edge" in Belleville and then on to Fairview Heights to eat. The Edge gave us a good deal on the laser tag, so the regular attendees in the class were allowed to take a guest with them.
Please remember that each three months, those who have been at Sunday school all but 2 weeks, are able to go on a special outing. Our next trip, for the months of January through March will be to the Incredible Pizza Company in St. Louis. A date has not yet been set, but we have about 5 kids who are eligible to go this time.
If you have a 7th or 8th grade student in your family, children or grandchildren, we would love to have them with us each week at 9:30am for Sunday School. We have a great time and are learning so much about God's love and grace. Mary H and Jan S, co-teachers.
