We are going to do something special for children and young people (= elementary and middle school) in our church family this Sunday March 18 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall at University Baptist Church (where we have our fellowship lunches and our Dumpling Party).
We will play games (like Uno, Connect Four, cards), then decorate our new children’s bags, then make and eat ice cream sundaes. If the weather is good maybe we can try flying kites!
Please tell Rick Wright – reply to this email or call – if you would like your child(ren) participate in this afternoon of fun and ice cream. He needs to make sure he has enough for everyone!
