To help us think about the importance of good life experiences for young children in Berea, Jenny Hobson will be here to play the Brain Architecture Game at our Wednesday potluck on March 4th. The Brain Architecture is a group activity which will help us understand more about brain development in the early years through building with pipe cleaners and competing in teams. Come prepared to have fun!
Offering of Letters March 8. Our annual Offering of Letters “letter writing” will take place at the March 8 Lenten Lunch. Information about this year’s focus and a “sample letter” will be included in the Worship Bulletin, as well as on the tables in the Community Room, along with paper, envelopes, and addresses for our Senators and Representative. It will help if you have a pen/pencil with you. We will collect the envelopes/letters and the Mission & Service Board will cover the cost of mailing.
