Here’s what’s coming up in April and May:
April 8 and May 12 – Parents’ Night Out – Parents’ Night Out has returned! Please register in advance by emailing our Childcare Coordinator, Taylor Bourg at taylorb@ucgainesville.org. Pizza is served. Games are played. Movies are watched. And adults get to enjoy a night out on the town.
Sunday Tribes Times:
April 3 Retreat – Retreat is happening this year! No Tribes in Gainesville
April 10 Palm Sunday – Our annual palm parade is here! The children will wave their palms in parade style through the 9:15 service. Ah, tradition!
April 17 Easter Sunday – Another tradition returns! Egg hunts! Yay! Our annual Easter Egg hunt occurs immediately following the 9:15 children’s story.
April 23 BCYF Hosts Social Time! – Board of Children, Youth, and Families hosted this fun event last year and it is back by popular demand! Families meet in the field at One Love at 10a.m. We have Minute To Win It games for the kids, donuts and coffee for everyone, and adults get to catch up.
April 24 Tribes Time – We all know the old Stone Soup story, but this morning it will take an interesting and interactive twist as the children work together to create something from nothing. You may want them to wear messy clothes this day. The rest is secret for now.
May 1 and 7 Tribes Time – Shay Smith, our Nursery Coordinator and Christmas Pageant Coordinator is also a fabulous dance instructor. She will be teaching the kids a celebratory dance to welcome spring and new beginnings into our lives. The dance will be performed on Children’s Sunday.
May 15 Tribes Time – Parts are chosen for our Children’s Sabbath Celebration. Kids can play a song, do a dance, give a sermon, create art, help the sound crew, decorate the Sanctuary… you name it!
May 22 Children’s Sabbath Service during the 9:15 service/Tribes Time – I will probably weep with joy when this delightful tradition returns. There is nothing greater than watching these children take ownership of their church and share their gifts with all of us!
If there is anything more your souls desire, please reach out to us! And if you are open to receiving a call from me just to catch up and hear about your kids, please text me your number and a good time to talk. I would really love to reconnect!
Blessings,
Keri
