LATE BREAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS

Children in Worship Today: We are encouraging children to worship with their families today and there will be no Sunday School during either service. However, there will be a movie in Barnwell Hall for those children who cannot sit still. Nursery care will also be provided for children under the age of 3.

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held on Easter Sunday between the 2 services (approx 10:45am). There will be 3 separate hunts: O-3 yr olds in the courtyard. 4 yrs-1st grade in the playground. 2nd - 5th grade in the front lawn of the white house behind the church. Bring your own basket.

S.O.S. Campaign: Traditionally, the Sundays of Sharing (SOS) campaign ends today on Easter Sunday. Thanks to your generosity, the lives of real people become really better. Many of you have already contributed. The Board of World Fellowship thanks you for your generosity, your support, and your confidence. Every contribution helps make the world a better place.

BWF meeting: The Board of World Fellowship will hold its monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 14th, at 7:30 PM at 1 Oak Knoll Road, Summit.

Join us on Sunday, May 3rd for “Man & Woman: Much Ado About Something” Tea at Christ Church. Bob Petrus and Liz Jefferson return to take us on a journey exploring the inexhaustible and enigmatic topic of Man and Woman through drama, poetry, stories, quotes and letters. If you missed the last one, this is your chance to take part in a beautiful afternoon! The event will take place in Lile Hall at 4 p.m., and will be catered by Stephanie Fisk. Space is limited, so please RSVP to Cheryl Levy at or 908-273-5549, by Monday, April 27th. Tickets are $15 per person.

Nicaragua Container Shipment: Your generosity continues to bring hope and joy to children and their families in Nicaragua. Please bring your donations of summer-weight clothing and shoes, sports equipment, and household items to the church parking lot on Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. This year we are trying out a new coded labeling system to foil would-be pilferers in the Nicaragua customs house. To support this effort, please bring all donations in plain boxes (i.e., even if it is a brand new item, take it out of its original packing and put it in a nonspecific box), then for each box write the contents on a piece of paper or masking tape and affix it loosely to the box. Jim Burchell, of PeaceWorks, will be removing these loose labels and replacing them with coded labels as the boxes are loaded into the container later that day. Thank you for helping sustain this worthwhile, much-appreciated project! Please call if you have questions: Marilyn Devroye or Dan Ocone.

A Walk in the Garden: On Sunday, April 19 the Reeves-Reed Arboretum will celebrate Daffodil Day. You are invited to join a walking group that will leave Christ Church and walk to the Arboretum after the first service. The Arboretum is planning craft activities, a photo exhibit, face painting, a family scavenger hunt, and woodland tours. Hot dogs, healthy snacks and fruit will be available for sale. The Garden Shop will be open. For those who come on foot or bike, admission is discounted to $2. Children under 3 are free. Regular admission is $3.

The New Jersey Council of Churches is partnering with Fellowship and Prayer, the Interfaith Youth Core and others to sponsor A Day of Interfaith Youth Service on Sunday, April 26: The purpose of the day is to gather high school and college students from different religious traditions to work together on a community service project and to gain understanding and appreciation for one another across religious differences. The project will be in Trenton, perhaps in a park or community garden. Details of the day are still being worked out. If you have young people who are interested in participating, kindly call the NJCC office at 609-396-9546, or respond to and the NJCC will see that they are properly connected to the project.
