The Youth of Edwards Church would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Dessert Auction. We made over $700 and we could not have done it without you! Thanks so much for your support of our youth.
The youth trip to Synod is getting close, just one month away! Olivia, Kelvin, Noah and Robert will join Pastor Debbie, as well as kids from Old South Church in Boston, and Plymouth Church. The youth and chaperones met each other for the first time this past Saturday, watched a video about Synod and how United Church of Christ governance works. They also sang grace at lunchtime for the 47 Massachusetts delegates who met the same day. The youth created a skit to explain the rules for going to Synod, and created drawings about how they shine light on our world. The theme of this year’s Synod is “Shine.”
The last Sunday of our program year will be June 9. We will celebrate confirmation in an intergenerational service, and share cake and ice cream at coffee hour. We have lots of great things planned for the summer, including working in the herb garden, baking cookies, a youth-led service, and a repeat of pretzel-making.
The Board of Christian Education has taken into consideration all of the information that was gathered at the last Congregational Meeting, and we are in the process of implementing your suggestions. Keep your eye out for little additions here and there that should help all of us live into being a growing, vibrant church that welcomes all. Thanks for all of your thoughtful suggestions.

Interim Director of Christian Education
