Dear Parents,

Childhood and Family Ministries has started a blog. Why?...So:

• We can provide you with up to date Children’s dates and activities, and be connected with you in a personal and creative way.
• It is interactive, which means you can respond.
• You can follow us and be connected with us when you are away or traveling. 

Where do I find this blog?

• http://LittleHandsatAllSaints.blogspot.com
• It will be on the All Saints website: http://www.AllSaintsMTKA.org
• On e-mails from Childhood Ministries and Penny

Your thoughts are important to us…so let us know what you think?

Blessings,

56'ers

Yesterday, April 20^th 56’ers went to the Glenn Senior Housing in Minnetonka, to visit Grandmas and Grandpas who live there. We were guided by Lola Amendt,  All Saints member and parent, and Resident Service Director at the Glenn.

 

Lola read 5-6^th graders  a story about memories. Lola shared how we can comfort those who are losing their memories, by talking and listening about their stories. 5-6^th graders each brought a special object or toy to spark conversation. We had cookies and milk together, played colored bells together and sang many songs together.

Special memories and friends were made this day.

Mother's Day Tea

We are getting ready for Tea Time! The Mother's Day Tea is May 11. Tickets are $15 for adults, $6 for children, and are on sale now. They are in the church office, or can be picked up on Sunday mornings at the table.

Paul and Silas

This Sunday, April 21st, we start a new unit, Paul and Silas. Pastor Heather will share about "Silas" at the Children's Moment in worship. Michelle Kerrick will be with us one more time to finish glazing teapots and plates for the Mother's Day tea. This will bring our year to a close, with the last Sunday of Sunday School being May 19th.
