OGDEN PLAYERS NEWS

Ogden Players had fun doing our spring production this year.  It was a rousing success.  Many in the audience requested we do it again right away but the general concensus of the cast and the director was "Don't THINK so"  After rehearsing since first weekend in Feb. everyone was tired.  Stay tuned for next year's production notes.

MAKE USE OF OGDEN'S LIBRARY
Our church library has all kinds of reading ror adults and children, as well as tapes (video and audio).  We have several people who are consistent readers who could recommend good books for you.

Do NOT bring donations of books to the library. Please contact someone on the library committee first so we can determine if the library can use them.


The library staff will weed some books from the shelves before June Fest.  We will offer some books for sale and send some to areas that were storm-damaged

WELCOME OGDEN'S NEW SEXTON

At our October Administrative Board meeting, Jonathan Hall was unanimously approved to be our new church sexton.  He replaces Brian Gates who resigned in September.  Jonathan will be given a six-month probationary period to make sure things work out well on both sides.

Jonathan is a polite, pleasant young man who recently graduated from high school (after being home-schooled.)  He is an eager teenager who has worked at many types of jobs such as mowing, landscaping, raking, painting, remodeling, and basic contracting jobs.  Jonathan has excellent Christian values and comes from a strong family unit on the Southside of Binghamton.  His entire family comes highly recommended by Diane Weber.  The SPR Committee was very impressed with Jonathan and is sure he will do a good job!  If you happen to run into Jonathan, please introduce yourself and give him a warm Ogden welcome!

For the past few months. Adam Standard and Jonathan Stanley have been helping around the church.  On behalf of everone at Ogden, I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to both!

ACTIVITIES GALORE FOR OUR JUNIOR CHURCH PARTICIPANTS!

Every week we do a fun craft that connects with our lesson.  Over the last few weeks, we have learned about prables through the story of The Mustard Seed and The Seed Sower.  We made winter treats for our feathered friends by rolling corn cobs and pine cones in peanut butter and birdseed.  We also filled orange rinds with peanut butter and birdseed mixture.  All the treats were placed in the hedge row between the church and the office  We filled some hungry tummies of birds (and squirrels!)
