West Suffield Congregational Children to Run Worship
|
The children at West Suffield Congregational have a busy month coming up. The big news is that on June 12 they will be running worship. The children will read, sing, hear stories and join in a joyful service to mark the beginning of summer. Our children have been learning over the past few months that they can make a difference in the world. To point towards a more hopeful view of the future, we have been trying to instill in our Sunday School students a sense of agency and an awareness of their own ability to make change.

Order Back-to-School Supply Kits, Save Time and Help SFES
|
It’s no surprise to anyone at this point that COVID has devastated many things. Unfortunately, the SFES major fundraiser, our dinner dance auction, has not been held for the last two years and will unlikely to be held this year. As we usually make upwards of $25,000 on that fundraiser, its absence has definitely been felt. Accordingly, because of the times, we have tried to hold much smaller fundraisers so that we may continue to fund grants to our schools and keep our organization and its mission in people’s minds. On this note, we are partnering with 1st Day School supplies to help busy Spaulding and McAlister parents by enabling them to purchase a back- to- school supply kit which includes a $5 donation to the SFES. We have worked with teachers to prepare the supply list and 1st Day has guaranteed our schools the impossible to find and highest quality brands like Crayola, Elmers, Fiskars, Purcell, and Clorox.
