Barnstead Resident To Participate In Cancer Walk

Sixty miles, three days, thousands of steps and months of preparation to make a personal difference in finding the cure. Sharon Kriete, a resident of Barnstead, will be joining hundreds of other women and men to participate in the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk in Boston.  Participants will walk 60 miles during the 3 days to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and community-based breast health and education programs.


This will be Sharon’s first time to participate in the event. She will be walking in memory of Barbara Authier, who was also a resident of Barnstead and who passed away in March.  Barbara, or “Meme” as the kids called her, was a much-loved daycare provider. The kids in her care thrived on her energy and her love for them.  Barbara’s life was cut short and Sharon feels that by her participation in this walk, she may help others who are fighting this disease.


More than 1.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer globally and more than 465,000 die each year. To help find a cure and to help Sharon reach her goal, please consider making a donation. To make a donation, or for more information, please visit www.the3day.org or call 1-800-996-3DAY (3329).

Summer Sunday School


Looking for something to do with your family this summer? Something fun, life-changing and free! Join us this summer at the Center Barnstead Christian Church for our Summer Sunday School. Our program will begin on Sunday, July 11th at 9:00 AM, and will continue throughout the summer every Sunday morning from 9:00 AM-9:45 AM.


There will be three classes offered during this time. The first one is for kids ages 4 through the 6th grade. This class will be taught by different people from within our church each week. A nursery will be provided for children younger than 4 years old. The second class will be for adults on church membership. Forrest and Jackie Young will be teaching this class. The third class will be for the teens and adults. This will be a video-driven study taught by Chip Ingrim entitled, “True Spirituality According to Jesus”. This study complements the Living on the Edge book, which looks specifically at Romans, chapter 12. Romans 12 is the START HERE for the Christian life. What most Christians sadly misunderstand is that God isn’t into religious activities or performance-based Christianity. Instead, Romans 12 reveals to us a relational profile of what it means to be a disciple, as well as a proven pathway to becoming more like Jesus every day.

 
Come and bring your family this summer!


For more information about our Summer Sunday School, please call the church at 269-8831.


The Center Barnstead Christian Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall.
