Sly, Jr. 5th & 6th Grade Fellowship

Our last stop in our exploration for the religions of the world will be Hinduism on May 4th and remember the new time, 5:30 to 7:30. Good food, not beef, games and lots of other activities, including Extreme Yoga! Come! No RSVP necessary and bring a friend! Our final event for this season will be the Family BBQ on June 1st from 5:30 to 7:30. We will welcome out incoming 5th graders (for the 08/09 school year) and say good-by next years 7th graders! Hot dogs, hamburgers, condiments and drinks will be provided. We are asking families who’s last names begin with an A through M to bring a side dish to share and N thorough Z to bring a dessert. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs for eating and lounging. We will have games and activities that will suit the area of yard left between the youth and construction areas.

THERE WILL BE AN ALL NEW LOOK TO SLY, JR. NEXT YEAR!

The reconfiguration of classrooms that will be made after the construction of our amazing Youth Wing, gives us (Children's Ministry) a great opportunity to spice up our program a bit. Kindergarten Sunday School will be moving to a classroom in the Goliath Area and joining the Workshop Rotation in the Fall. Seven grades, K - 6th grade, are too many classes to run an effective rotation program. This is great news for next year's 5th and 6th graders! We would like to take this opportunity to create a whole new program for our 5th and 6th graders! They would have their own room, the same one every week, the Mathew room or better known as the 'Tween Room at 9:30 on Sundays. They would have their own curriculum, designed especially for the savvy pre-teens of today. And they would have their own team of adult leaders who know what a great group of kids these are and are ready to guide and grow in faith with them! During the month of May we will be contacting our parent group in search of our 'Tween Team. But don't feel left out just because you don't have a 'Tween in your household! Any and All adults are welcome to become a part of this engaging team. Just contact Jenita Rhodes at 303-791-0659 x 27 to sign up. The perfect time to begin this new Sunday morning program would be in June, so don't delay! We need your help to make this happen!

St. Luke’s offers Respite program for parents through Discovery Club

Discovery Club is a opportunity for children with special needs and their siblings to play games, make friends or create a craft while their parents enjoy some much needed free time.  They meet on the third Saturday of the month from October through May from 10:00am until 4:00 pm.  Discovery Club of Highlands Ranch is a joint effort of St. Luke’s, Colorado Easter Seals and several area agencies.  It provides the specialized care needed in a safe caring and fun environment.  Pre-registration is advised  by contacting Nancy at 303-233-1666 ext. 237 or nhanson@eastersealcolorado.org.  There is a minimal fee for each child. 

St. Luke’s supports Discovery Club by providing the facilities and extra volunteer help.  You can volunteer for one or all sessions by contacting Nancy or Jenita Rhodes.

Summer Sunday School - Veggie Tales The Pirates Who Don't do Anything!

On June 1st Summer Sunday School will set sail for a fantastic adventure on the high seas with the Pirates from Veggie Tales new movie. Each Sunday we will encounter a Hero from the stories in the Bible. We will learn about the challenges they faced and how God helped them become a Hero in spite of the obstacles. Best of all we will discover how God can make us a Hero in the situations of our everyday lives! Plus, we will have games, crafts, music and a great snack every Sunday! What more could a kid wish for, but maybe being able to share the adventure with a friend! See ya there, mate!
