2001 Ministers' Convocation
Ministers, please keep the dates of April 23-26, 2001 open for
the Ministers' Convocation. The theme will be "Peace with God _
Peace with Ourselves." The event will take place at the Center for
Development in Ministry at Mundelein, Illinois, as it has for the past few years.
From Seminary to Church
CFTS provides special training for service in our National
Association Churches. It helps train ministers for our churches by providing
scholarships and grants, seminars that establish a foundation in
Congregational history/polity, and creating opportunities for fellowship and
a network of support which lasts a lifetime. Please consider
donating generously to assure a continuation of this tradition.

Student Activity: The Good Samaritan
Story Ages: Preschool -3rd Grade
Supplies: Newsprint, Markers, Band Aids
This is s fun way to illustrate the story of the Good Samaritan.
Read from the Bible or paraphrase the story to students. Then let the
kids choose a partner. Spread the newsprint on the floor and have
the students trace an outline of each other. Have them put a face,
clothing, and Band Aids on the body outlines and have them talk about how
they would help each other if they were the Good Samaritan. After the
lesson is over, hang the outlines up on the walls of the classroom.
