Childrens church school has beenfilled with a lot of drama during thisLenten season.

We started the first week in Lent with the reenactment of the LastSupper, followed by Judas selling Jesusout, then Jesus arrest, and finally Peters denial of Jesus.

Several children have kindly offeredto be actors in our weekly passionplays. I appreciated their time andeffort and want to thank all them:

Jeremy Edwards, Kelsey and BenMcDaid, Peter Nelson, Grant Nilson,and Aaron McNelis.

On Palm Sunday, we will all join inand celebrate Jesus arrival in Jerusa-lem by processing with the choir whilejoyfully waving palms.

We are alsomaking symbolsto attach to ourpersonal ban-ners to remindus of the jour-ney.

There willbe no churchschoo l onEaster Sunday,but there willbe activity bagsfor the childrenin the narthex.

If all of theseactivities soundlike fun to you,please let meknow. I am in search of teachers forthe next three sessions. It is very flex-ible all prep work is done for you and the children are great!

And mark your calendars now for

Vacation Church School, which hasbeen scheduled for June 22 - 26, 9 amto noon each day.

For more information, or to volunteplease contact Mary Jo Blazek.

A Dramatic Lent

by Mary Jo Blazek,Childrens Ministry Coordinator

At Stone Church this year, Lent andEaster have focused on the theme,

A Table of Element s. During April,

sermons, including childrens ser-mons, will focus on the elements andscripture passages outlined below.

Theme for Lent and Easter This Year:

A Table of Elements

Sunday 6th Sun. of Lent, 4/5Maundy Thursday, 4/9Good Friday, 4/10Easter, 4/12

Water for Washing A Torn Cur tainStone

ScriptureMark 15:33-39

John 13:1-20Mark 15:38Mark 15:42-16:8

Something new has been added tothe church organ.

During Advent, when you heardbells tinkling in the distance(excluding the Christmas Eve serviceto which everyone brought bells!), did

you wonder what you were hearing?

It was the new Cymbelstern. A Cymbelstern is a musical instru-ment that rings small bells at randomas an accompaniment to organ music.Cymbelsterns have been used for cen-turies in devotional music.

Cymbelstern means Cymbal Star .In fact, the original Cymbelsterns

were made in the shape of a star withsmall bells at each point. The star

was turned, either manually or pneu-matically, and the bells were struck by stationary clappers mounted aroundthe star. Modern Cymbelsterns areelectrically operated. The bells do notrotate instead, a rotating device inthe center strikes the bells.

To see the Cymbelstern, stand inthe center of the chancel facing theorgan, and look up, almost to the ceil-ing. In the far left corner, you will seea small black box, which contains theCymbelstern.

You may it hear it during the servicenow and again not often but when

you do, what a glorious sound! - Joyce Rhodes

Top: The new Cymbelstern, before installatioBottom: The installer, with the Cymbelsternin his hand, takes it up to the space in the far left corner. Note that some pipes have beenremoved to enable him to place the ladder.

Do you believe in miracles? Youknow the wonderful things thathappen unexpectedly?

During an early February meetingof the Communications Subcommit-tee, we all wishedwe had better quality equipment to videotape the upcom-ing Henrietta Perdue Lectures withDr. Patrick Miller.The following day, Ken and I met

with Bob Tablak, Ed and Junes son.Bob had some video equipment he

was no longer using, and he decided todonate this equipment to Stone.

That Friday, Bob presented to Kenand me a treasure troveof professional

video equipment, which included allof the following:

2 video cameras with microphoneinput2 wireless microphones and4 transmitters2 microphone receivers1 boom microphone2 very tall tripods1 video playerMany cables and connectors

To reflect the miracle I felt in my heart from this generous donation,I named the cameras for charactersin Fiddler on the Roof . If you know the

story, Tevye grants Motel and Tzeitalunusual request to marry, and Motelsings Miracle of Miracles.

After just a few days of learning howto use this sophisticated equipment,

we videotaped the Henrietta PerdueLectures and the sermon by Dr. Miller.The DVDs we created have excellent

video and audio quality! You may havealso seen us videotaping a Sunday ser vice or a Taiz service.

Many, many thanks, Bob, for yourgenerous and most-appreciated gift!

-- Caryl WesterbSee Pat Magee if you would like to purchase the Dr. Miller DVDs (cost is $10
