Christian Education Minutes from March 8, 2006

Anne has taken steps to see that the Easter Eggs are filled for the Egg Hunt.  If Hank can not have the Youth group do it then Anna will have the jr. high class take care of it Sunday morning.  If either of those plans do not work then Anne or Jean Ann will fill them.  Stella and the jr. high teachers will meet with the jr. and sr. high students on Easter Sunday by 9:30, to hide the eggs in the 3 designated areas.  Enough eggs and fillings have been donated.  Jean Ann will help with the egg hunt if needed.
 
Margaret Grant will work with the Sunday School children at the usual time this Palm Sunday Morning and also will need them at 10:00 to practice singing with the adult choir.  The teachers have been informed.
 
The Sunday School classes have been collecting money to donate to the Jamison Center as an Easter project.  Greg Hanel spoke to the children about the purpose of Jamison Center.  Greg is a social worker for Jamison.
 
Anne will be gone for the 2 Sundays following Easter.  Margaret will be leading the music at the openings as usual.  Jean Ann will dismiss the children with a prayer and  address needs at that time.
 
Adult Education classes are going well.  Nick will finish up his class on May 14th.  Dwight's class has 6 lessons left which would have him finishing up May 21st.    The last day of Sunday School is June 4th.  The adult classes could return to the t.v video's that they have done in the past if we can find a discussion leader. 
 
The Wednesday Evening Disciple group will finish up the 2nd week of May.  They have asked for samples from Cokesbury Publishing House but they have not arrived yet.  They will choose from those samples their topics for next year.  The class is considering shorter sessions (6-10 weeks) to entice others to join in next fall.  They do not meet in the summer.
 
Vacation Church School will be having a meeting in May or early June for those involved. 
 
Anne is willing to teach the 30 Second Class on welcoming new people to either the Adult Sunday School class or to fill in for Barbara's Thursday morning class when she is gone next fall.
 
Please let me know ASAP if there is anything that has been overlooked and needs attention.
 
Otherwise the next Education Committee Meeting will be May 3rd at 5:00 p.m. in the Lounge.
