For ADULTs
Blaine’s annual VBS will be July 13th-17th and we are expecting 90 youth to participate. We need your help in helping run a successful program. This is one of Blaine’s biggest functions and outreach in the community. Last year it took over 60 volunteers and 1,500 hours to prepare staff and run the camp.
We need help with registration, cooking, supervising the kids, participating in the program, construction of projects, leading craft time or various administrative tasks. In order to have VBS this year we need to have the following stations staffed:
Classes are 20 minutes each and the curriculum is already prepared. Teaching is very similar to the current Ark program we are using for church school. We are looking for help at any time during the week or for a couple of hours. If we don’t receive enough volunteers we will be forced to call off VBS.
If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering, please contact Rev. Kathleen, Steven Kanzaki or Mako Kanzaki (skanzaki@aol.com) 425.776.7701. If you are interested, please fill out the Volunteer Registration Form.

New Horizons Ministries (NHM) is a Christian, interdenominational, non-profit agency that serves Seattle’s street youth. NHM is holding their training Saturday, May 9th and 16th from 8:30am-5:00pm. Training topics will include Street Culture, Prostitution, Chemical Abuse, Relational Counseling, and Spiritual Formation. They will need many more volunteers as they will be opening Street Bean Espresso, a coffee shop which will equip your youth with job skills, later this year. Whether you are interested in volunteering with NHM or simply want to learn more about youth involved in street culture, this is a great place to start! Registration fee is $50, and partial scholarships are available. Contact Aaron Stroud-Romero for more information: 206.374.0866 x 107 or aaronr@nhmin.org.

Becoming
Scriptures - Acts 2:41-47, James 1:22-24
Reflections: The Great 50 Days is the time in the church year between Easter and Pentecost. During this time we remember that the Risen Christ was with the disciples and is with us. It is a time to focus on what it means to share the Good News of God and to be in ministry in the world.
So, who is God calling us to be and what is God calling us to do?
What can Blaine do for the Great 50 Days?
Again, the sky is the limit!

Blaine Memorial offers Church School - The Ark - for all children ages Pre-K thru 5th grade. The Ark meets every Sunday, rain or shine, holiday or not, at 10:45am in the 1st Floor of the Education Wing.
The Ark is a rotation based curriculum in which children rotate to a new workshop each week to learn a Bible story or Church theme. Rotations generally last 4 weeks.
Our classes are: Pre-K &K, 1st & 2nd Grades, 3rd & 4th Grades, and 5th Grade
If your child is not in Pre-K yet, we have a nursery available at 10:45 in the 1st Floor Ed Wing and a Cry Room in the Sanctuary.

The next Ark Rotation will be Easter People starting on Sunday, April 19th. Kids will explore what it means to be an Easter People. They will explore what it means to share the good news with the world. Workshops will include art, cooking, and storytelling.
Thank you to all the workshop leaders who will make this Rotation possible!

Throughout Lent, we’ve been invited to listen to who God is calling us to be and what God is calling us to do.
This is a space to share the thoughts and ideas. Feel free to list your ideas. If you see ideas that you like or are interested in, please comment on those as well.
Starting after Easter, we hope to put some of these into action!
