SPRING! We are finally here. It has not been a particularly cold or dreary winter, but I am glad to see the birds and little peep frogs back again. Over the winter months we have been reexamining the needs of our Sunday school students and revamping our curriculum to suit them.

It is with our older students in mind that we shift our focus from the general biblical knowledge of the traditional stories to a curriculum built on public service to our community and character development. These are two very strong core values of the Unitarian Universalist Principles and we are very blessed to have a small group of conscience youths to carry out such a program. The older children of our church will be working through GenerationOn's Kids Care Club group, which helps schools, churches and other organizations run service projects in an effort to increase youth involvement for philanthropic causes.

Although not as detailed, the younger children will be following a similar path. They will still be cycling back through their biblical stories, however they will be building upon the knowledge of giving and love through community service and care. These children will be doing paired down versions of the service projects that the older children will do, with a stronger focus on how they relate to the stories that we have heard and the UU principles.

We are very excited to begin this new season. We hope that you will join us!

Our deepest gratitude goes out to Merrillyn Courser and Charles Butterfield who graciously donated their time and talent to provide the organ music for our Service of Appreciation and Candlelight Service, respectively! Both services were greatly enhanced by the beautiful music they provided.

The community is always invited to attend our weekly services. A children's religious education class will be offered. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the service. Further information and directions can be found on the church's website at www.chesterfielduu.org or by calling (603) 256-6346.

The church continues to search for a generous soul, or souls, who may be willing to donate their musical talent to provide service music either weekly, or occasionally. While our congregation has traditionally enjoyed organ or guitar accompaniment during our weekly services, we are receptive to other musical talents.

If you, or someone you know may be interested, please contact Nancy Brooks at
