Holy Humor Sunday – April 7^th, 2024 ~ 9am. Since the middle ages people have joyfully celebrated the resurrection with a special Sunday, also known as Bright Sunday or Laughter Sunday.  G.K. Chesterton once wrote: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Never forget that the devil fell by force of gravity. He who has the faith has the fun.” Bring your laughter to worship! Needed: clean, fun jokes and a juggler.

Nate will lead songs, share a fun skit, help us learn about what it feels like to belong, and end the morning with a campfire, s’mores and more songs. Sunday school will end at the normal time but everyone is invited to stay for lunch. *Parents and other adults – this day is for you, too!
