Children's Happenings Spring, 2020

Sunday School:
Sunday school occurs during the second half of worship throughout the school year.  We currently have two classrooms for our K-5th graders.  The multiage groupings discover the word and world of God through our Spark curriculum.  This curriculum follows the liturgical calendar and gives kids an opportunity to express their beliefs.  Come join us! We welcome new children all the time and we love visitors!

HPPK:
This group of K-5th graders meets after church on Sundays, from 11:15 to 12pm.  We sing songs, do arts and crafts, learn about Jesus and practice and perform two plays yearly.  Currently, we are working on "Once Upon a Parable", which will be performed during the service on March 15th.  We would love to have you come see our production and join HPPK!

Jr Choir: 
Practices will resume on March 4th, from 5:15 to 6:00pm.  We welcome singers 2nd grade - Jr High, as long as they consider themselves readers.  If you enjoy singing, come practice with us! We generally sing about 4-5 times a year during the service.  We would love your voice, please join us!

Monthly Moments:
This group is geared toward 6th-9th graders.  It meets on the first or second Sunday of each month during our normal Sunday School time.  This time provides youth with an opportunity to explore their faith, ask and answer questions in a safe environment and learn about God's ways in our world.  Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday, March 8th.  You are welcome to join us anytime.

Upcoming Service Projects:
Bernie's Books Bank - February 15th, 12:30 -2:00pm.  Please sign up with Ginny ASAP as space is limited and you must be registered in the system before the 15th.  We will gather at Bernie's to help sort, sticker and pack books to be delivered to the children of Chicagoland who do not have books of their own.  Please come well fed and well hydrated.  We will be busy working during our entire shift! Bernie's Book Bank is a wonderful organization that has brought the love of reading into countless homes throughout Chicagoland. 

PADS Night - Sunday, March 29th, 4:00 - 8:00pm, Deerfield Presbyterian Church.  We will be preparing and serving dinner to the homeless guests that come to the shelter that evening.  We will also be preparing their sleeping arrangements for the night.  Anyone 12 and older is welcome and encouraged to attend this wonderful evening.  This has truly been an eye-opening experience for all, as our youth begin to see a completely different world right at their doorsteps.  Please sign up with Ginny, ASAP

Feed My Starving Children - April 25th, 11:30 - 1:30pm.  We will be packing food for starving children all over the world.  This is a fun filled, high energy way to ensure that you have a part in saving children's lives through food.  What we pack will be distributed to the communities that need it most throughout the world.   Please come well fed and well hydrated!  We will be working throughout our entire shift.  Sign up with Ginny ASAP.
