We Love our Teachers!
We're excited to celebrate all our Tiki-Riffic educators this week during Teacher Appreciation Week! Reminder for Childcare Families: Please review the SignUp Genius sent via Brightwheel to see how you can support your child's teacher and don't hesitate to reach out to the front desk if you have any questions. Church Family: Help us stock the staff breakroom fridge with goodies and treats for all our teachers to enjoy throughout Teacher Appreciation Week. Attached you'll find a list of our teachers' favorite snacks. Drop your nonperishable donations off to the church office or leave them in the bin in the church office before or after services on Sunday May 3rd. For perishable snacks, please place them in the staff breakroom fridge in our Childcare on Sunday May 3rd. We invite everyone to help us encourage our amazing teachers by writing a short note of appreciation to go on our bulletin board! A few kind words can go a long way in lifting their spirits and reminding them how valued they are. Stop by the front desk and grab a flower note to show your support. We'll also have these available on the narthex info table for you to use beginning this Sunday. Leave your message with us and we'll be sure to include it on the board.

Bikes for Nicaragua Collection May 17th 9AM - 3PM

Since 2008, NicaWorks has been helping churches and communities in the poorest regions of Nicaragua. NicaBikeShop has been a very successful program that trains orphaned and at-risk youth in bicycle repair and the business administration of running two large bike shops. Each bike repaired and sold blesses a local family with transportation and supports the NicaWorks ministry. Last year we collected over 100 bikes! Help us break the record by donating your old bike AND by telling a friend! Flyers are available on the narthex info table for you to take and distribute.We will gather together as a Church at 9:45AM on May 17th to pray over the bicycles and the ministry of NicaWorks! Please join us!
