Religious emblems program starting next week - spaces available!

St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church in Burke is sponsoring the Religious Awards program (God & Me and God & Family) during the months of March & April. Children in grades 1-5, both girls and boys, will meet for six fun one-hour sessions for singing, crafts, and instruction Thursdays at 5:30 pm. They’ll learn about their relationship with God and how God works within a family. This course is presented from a very generic Christian, Protestant perspective. There’s a web page full of details at http://www.ststephensfairfax.org/latest/religous-emblems-for-scouts-campfire. No church affiliation or Scouting affiliation is necessary (so invite your neighborhood kids, too!) The fee is $25 and includes all materials and the awards (very nice enameled medals plus certificates) as well as a pizza party during the last session. The medals will be presented at St. Stephen’s during Sunday worship in May, 2011. These awards can be worn on Scout (boy & girl) & Campfire uniforms. Adult volunteers are welcome (you’ll be here to drop-off your children anyway) and volunteers are eligible for a special mentoring award as well (a patch and for Boy Scout leaders a “knot”.) Scholarships are available for those with special needs. Supervising the course is the Rev. Roger Baker, trainer for Pack 1131 . If you have concerns about the course content, call him directly at (571)268-2887. If you want to participate, you’ll need to sign-up right away, since spaces are limited.
