TEACHERS NEEDED!! 

An important message regarding the need for teachers in Sunday School.

We need volunteers to come forth and fill the teaching positions listed below. Consider giving two Sundays a month to the children of our church. Remember we all need to be part of our children's Christian journey. We have some individuals who have been teaching our children for 10, 15 and even 20 years.  Please think about teaching for one year. Curriculum, supplies and teacher training are provided. Alternate week teaching is encouraged.

If you know of anyone who would be interested, please pass this message on. Please contact Sybil at christianed.drcc@snet.net with questions or to volunteer!

Classes needing Sunday School teachers:

3rd grade ~ need TWO teachers


GO GREEN at DRCC

Our Sunday School will be heading up DRCC's recycling program. Blue recycling bins have been placed throughout the church, including the narthex, Sunday School classrooms and offices.

All paper, including colored, along with catalogs, magazines, cardboard, plastic and tin now go in one container. In the parking lot next to the All Waste trash dumpster, you will see a smaller dumpster marked "Single Stream Recycling" in which we will put our recyclables in.

Make sure that NO recyclables go in the large dumpster - that is strictly for trash only! And visa versa - no trash in the single stream recycling dumpster!

When having a fundraiser dinner, please recycle all that you can to include pasta & brownie mix boxes, plastics and tins. Bins are located under the sink.

Join us and help the church go GREEN ! See Sybil with any questions.

SUNDAY SCHOOL COOKBOOKS

Our Sunday School Cookbooks, to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of our church, are still available. There is 515 recipes from our Sunday School families, Sunday School teachers and Church members, including a gluten free section, Martha Beaudoin's sweet treats and of course a kids creation section. They are always available for purchase in Sybil's office or by seeing Kris during the week. We will also be selling in the fellowship hall on select Sundays. Parents, be sure to pick up a copy! Each child in the Sunday School from Nellie Prann Room on up, wrote their name on the back of the section dividers so they would all be part of this keepsake!!
