    Dear Families,

    We've arrived at Pentecost, and the final Church School of our program year! I love Pentecost, and all the imagery of wind and flames and doves. It also leads to great conversations about how we know things that we don't see with our eyes. 

    We will have our last Zoom Church School at 9am. In-Person Church Schoolers should plan to meet me at the Tower Doors to the Sanctuary at 9:55am. Remember, don't go straight to the Bishop Garden when you arrive, because the children will be part of the Pentecost procession at the beginning of the 10am service before heading to Church School. We've got ribbons and doves ready!

    After the 10am service, we'll enjoy strawberry shortcake together as we celebrate the program year--with all its joy, friendship, learning, and health!

    Best wishes,

    Bryn

    Parish Weekend Away Registration is Now Open AGAIN: We've Got More Rooms!

    Our all-parish Weekend Away (aka retreat) is September 23-25, 2022. This two-night getaway will be at the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Retreat Center in New Hampshire, about a 90 minute drive from Winchester. 

    The overnight reservations are now open again! We've gotten more rooms and cabins to fill. The registration form will still say "waitlist" (to be fixed soon!) but we ARE accepting more overnight reservations. We also have registration for Saturday or Sunday. It is a great chance to connect, deepen community ties, enjoy nature, and play.

    End of Year Youth Lock-In: June 24-25

    Registration is open for the Youth Group Lock-In! We'll gather the evening of Friday, June 24 for a progressive dinner, games, and fellowship. On Saturday, we will learn more about a local organization making a difference in the community, and spend a couple hours working with them. Registration is open now and will close on June 13. Please reach out to Eva Dalzell (edalzell@3crowns.org) with any questions or if you'd like to help out!

    Help with the Rawan Family: "Preschool" Time

    The Rawan family, whom we helping to resettle in Arlington after fleeing Afghanistan last year, has three little children not yet in school. We are helping them get ready for these new experiences by spending some time in their home, reading and coloring and playing, like a little "preschool homeschool." We also take them on walks to their local library, to look at books or join other children in Storytime. 

    If you are interested in helping with our "preschool homeschool" efforts, please contact Bryn. It is very fun and very rewarding! (All volunteers must complete a full background check through WIRP.)
