Brussels churches plan Kids Corner
The five churches in Brussels are
once again co-ordinating Kids
Corner for Brussels children from
July 23 through July 27.
This is a fun time for children
from kindergarten to Grade 8 -
music, drama, games, snacks and
friends. Children must be five year
of age by July 1.
Kids Corner is held at Brussels
Mennonite Fellowship for all school
age children. Students in Grades -6-7-
8 will have a separate program
which will include a service project
in Brussels for one afternoon.
Registration forms will be avail-
able at the 5Rs Thrift Shop or from
your church representative: Brussels
United, Betty Graber-Watson; St.
John's Anglican, Jill Sholdice; St.
Ambrose Catholic, Terry Rice;
Melville Presbyterian, Julia
Mitchell; Brussels Mennonite, Bev
Brown.
The theme of this year's Kids
Corner will be The Bible - Digging
for Treasure. The churches are hiring
a troupe of college students from
MCEC (Mennonite Conference of
Easter Canada) who receive special
training to teach songs, scripture,
drama and crafts.
Volunteers are needed to provide
leadership for small groups of ten
children. Last year 90 children
attended Kids Corner.
The costs for Kids Corner are up
slightly this year to approximately
$1,500. Each church plus the
Brussels Ministerial Association
provides most of the funding, but
donations from private individuals
would be most welcome.
Receipts for income tax are avail-
able.
For further information contact
one of the church representatives
listed above or call
Chairperson Yvonne Dettweiler at
887-9068.
