Christ United Methodist Church in collaboration with First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), St. Michael’s Parish, and Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church invites families to:
HOMETOWN NAZARETH: WHERE JESUS WAS A KID
A summer family event called Hometown Nazareth will be hosted at Christ United Methodist Church, 1232 National Rd., Wheeling, WV from Sunday, July 14th to Thursday, July 18th, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. for ages 3-11.
Families step back in time at Hometown Nazareth, exploring what it was like to live in the town where Jesus grew up. Kids and adults participate in a memorable Bible-times marketplace, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into Bible-times snacks, visit Jesus’ mom, Mary, and collect Bible Memory Makers to remind them of God’s Word. Plus, everyone learns to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes at Celebration—a time of upbeat worship that gets everyone involved.
To enable us to put on such an event, volunteers are needed. In the Narthex a sign-up sheet is posted for members of the congregation to place their name beside a position for which they would like to volunteer. If you have a question concerning any of the positions, please see Cheryl Sprague or email her at cherylsprague012@gmail.com.
The church still needs help with crafts in the Market Place and set-up and tear-down. The craft material is provided and is not difficult. It just takes a little patience from the table leader. We try to have two people working on a craft.
Set-up is on Saturday, July 13, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., and tear-down begins in Fellowship Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, 2024.
A sign-up sheet is attached to the bulletin board in the Narthex.
