Vacation Bible School Resources

In the April Monthly Mailing you received a flyer titled “ Willing to Share? Vacation Bible School Resources”

Here is a result of the VBS Sharing Questions:

We are beginning to put together our "shopping list" for Power Lab resources.  We order 100+ music CD's each year to get the best price of $4.99 each.  In order to get this good price, we need several other churches to request CD's.  Our church generally needs 30.  If you know of other churches using Group's Power Lab that would like to order CD's with us, please let me know.
Thanks!

ST. PAUL UCC, NEW BREMEN, CELEBRATES 175^TH ANNIVERSARY

June 11, 1833 – that’s the birthday of St. Paul United Church of Christ in New Bremen. The village of New Bremen and the church were founded in 1833 by German settlers, with the church’s initial congregation numbering only 16 members.

This past January, celebration plans for the year were made including, the 5^th annual confirmation reunion in May, a special worship service and picnic in the church park in June, a float in the Bremenfest parade in August and the Wing Ding dinner event in November.  A historical book will also be produced and banners to publicize our anniversary will be placed on the front of the church.

On Sunday, June 29, a special service of celebration is planned.  The day will start with family worship at 10:15 a.m.  Former ministers and sons and daughters of the church have been invited to attend and Rev. Daniel L. Busch, Association Minister will be preaching.  Following worship, there will be a proclamation by Mayor Jeff Pape with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the front steps of the sanctuary.  Then, our church picnic will get underway with food, entertainment and games in the church park.  All are welcome to join us for this historic event.  St. Paul UCC, 119 North Franklin St., New Bremen, OH  45869
