Christian Education Committee Report 2021 The Christian Education Committee oversees the education programs for the people in our congregation. Stephanie Knibbs did an exceptional job as our Children & Youth Activities Coordinator preparing and delivering Sunday School lessons online until the end of May at which time we sadly accepted her resignation. Many many thanks Stephanie for all of your wonderfully inspiring lessons and hard work! Kendra Gonczy continued to deliver our Children & Youth Music Programs with two very active choir groups! In September she also accepted the additional job of Children & Youth Activities Coordinator which was revised somewhat from the previous position. Kendra is planning and arranging Sunday School lessons each week for Sunday School parent volunteers to deliver. This has been very well received to date and we look forward to continuing with it in 2022.
Programs for adults are divided between Barnabas and our committee. Due to Covid restrictions Barnabas was unable to offer any book study sessions this year. We certainly have continued to deal with some curveballs this past year with ever changing Covid restrictions and mandates but our staff displayed great patience, persistence and flexibility through it all!! Kendra & Colleen continued to coordinate our online Sunday Worship services and bring these services into our homes through prerecording and live streaming till we were finally able to open our church to bigger numbers in May. Many thanks to Taylor & Doug for all of their technical support! Kendra & Colleen blessed all of us with the amazing production of The Little Mermaid Junior in early November!!! It was impossible not to realize the priceless gift this was even if measured only on the smiling faces of our children & youth as they participated in this awesome opportunity and the proud glowing faces of family & audience members alike!
Thank you to the congregation for your overwhelming support as well. And if that wasn’t a huge enough undertaking, we were then treated to a very special Christmas Program delivered by our children and youth under the direction of Kendra & Colleen!! We are so truly grateful and appreciative for these wonderfully talented and generous women and for EVERYTHING that they continue to do for our entire congregation! We can’t wait to see what blessings 2022 will bring us😊 Prepared by: Nancy Smoliak, Chair Committee Members: Jayme Payak, Tammy Friesen
