Pathfinders & Adventurers progress report.  Our first meeting opened with Betsy Blocher leading in prayer and worship, then we did some size selecting for new uniforms, and then the real fun began when we started working on…you guessed it…the KNOT honor! Who knew kids could have so much fun tying (and untying) knots!  This past Sabbath we had the privilege of hosting the Conference Level Bible Bowl.  The Worthington Wildcats were able to help with and participate in this event. We also provided a yummy spaghetti dinner for the 90 + Pathfinders!  Then on Sunday, the Adventurers and Pathfinders spent the day at Malabar Farms enjoying the Maple Sugar Festival. While enjoying the out of doors, they also earned their first honor, the Maple Sugar Honor!! The next meeting is Sunday, March 15 at 10:00am in the fellowship hall.  As a reminder registration for both clubs will remain open until March 31st and then will be closed until mid September 2009.

 

Pathfinders are looking for a glass display case. If you or anyone you know has one that they would be willing to donate, please contact Pathfinder leader Kevin Sciulli at (614) 841-9085 or the church office at (614) 885-7812.

 

We continue to receive news of members losing their jobs. Many of those we sit next to in the pew are facing critical, financial situations. WE WANT TO HELP! If you know of any job opportunities, could you please contact the church office at 614-885-7812. Also, if you are in a position where you are able, we need help funding our benevolent fund.

 Spring is here (officially on Friday) which means summer is on the way. We have a young man offering his lawn cutting service. If you need help with this chore for the summer or if you just need him while you're away on vacation, Andrew John's is available. Call him at (614) 888-6509.
