The Adult Sunday School time together “Coffee and Conversation” will not be a class, as such, but rather a time when we can gather to talk about issues important to our lives as we are living them. Coffee will be served at 8:45am, with the conversation beginning at 9.

A conversation about “Earth Day:  History and Progress” begins on April 24 with Tony Satriano facilitating.

A series of conversations on “Just Eating” will begin in May.

March 31, 2016 is the deadline to apply for the First United Church of Arvada Memorial Scholarship Fund. The award will be announced in May 2016. Applications can be picked up near the church entrance, or at the link below.

The scholarship is available to anyone of any age who has completed at least high school by the time the award is to be used. The recipient must either be a member of a family belonging to the First United Church of Arvada, or be sponsored by a member of the church. The purpose of this scholarship is to nurture a mind or talent that might otherwise be neglected. The award will be granted to a person who shows a clear direction towards making a contribution to humanity. For additional questions, please contact any member of the Board of Mission and Service, or Ralph Datema, the Board Chair.

Here’s additional information and the application.

The youth will hide the eggs for the children during part of their Sunday school time (which begins about 20 minutes in to the worship service). Children elementary school age and younger are invited to seek out the eggs after the worship service. (The children will have a resurrection story during their Worship & Wonder time, which begins about 20 minutes into the worship service.)

This year we are using our church for the ladies’ tea but prepare to be charmed by your surroundings and the same great food provided by Food for Thought. More info to come in the next weeks.

Come join us for an inter-generational VBS (Vacation Bible School) Family Fun night on June 15th from 6-8 pm.  We will gather for a potluck dinner together, with last names from A – M bringing a main dish and last names from N- Z bringing a side dish.  We will provide beverage and dessert.  After dinner we will enjoy music and games. Bring a favorite board game to play with others. Everyone is welcome!
