Step up to the plate with Little Big Stuff and swing for the fences of fun and faith with

In the Big Inning!

When the kids gather at the park near the church for a Saturday of baseball, they are in for a surprising glimpse at the Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11.  They’ll meet Moses (“he got his start in the bush leagues”), Noah (“that guy can really swing the lumber!”), Abraham (“with his son Isaac at the plate, it looks like the manager is calling for a sacrifice . . . “), and many more. With shades of the iconic

Casey at the Bat,

it all leads to the climactic finish of

Jesus at the Cross,

and the Good News of the Gospel is driven home with power! 

 

Fine Arts Week, 2016

August 1-5 

Grades 1-5  

 Registration is NOW open!  https://www.hcumc.org/news-and-events/fine-arts-camp-2016

Incoming 1st-6th graders will spend a week dabbling in all of the arts and having a ton of fun from 3-8pm, August 1-5 at Holy Covenant UMC.

They’ll dance, sing, make costumes, play instruments, do art with Mr. Logan, and put on “We Like Sheep”, a children’s musical teaching the love of the Good Shepherd. Parents, you’ll get to see the fully staged version on Friday night at the end of camp!

Get it on your calendars NOW. Cost is $25 per child with a max of $50 per family. Membership at Holy Covenant is NOT required, all in the community are welcome! Scouts will earn credits towards badges and 4Hers will complete a full Fine Arts project in one week!  Mail or bring to Holy Covenant UMC. 

Once you are registered, plan to drop by the church office between 9 and 3 pm Tuesday – Friday to pick up a learning CD (one per family)

Volunteers are needed! All adults and teens entering 7th grade and up, please contact me with availability to volunteer. This is a fantastic program that benefits the entire community. If you can help, even for a day, please do!
