MINISTRY TO CHILDREN UPDATE  |  FEBRUARY 2021

10:30am SERVICE EVERY WEEK - We return to IN PERSON Sunday School and nursery in February for all our children, ages birth to 5th grade!

NURSERY (ages birth to three years)
Care for your little ones from people who really love babies!  Provide us instructions, and we will play, sing, rock, and cuddle your littles ones.  We will stay in touch with you via text if we have questions while you are in service.

THREE & FOUR YEAR OLD CLASS
Preschool is Miss Kira’s favorite age, and she leads her class through Bible stories and activities to help your kiddos build their foundation on God’s Word.  We try to move and change things up several times in the morning to help your kids stay engaged.

KINDERGARTEN & FIRST GRADE CLASS
Miss Christy specializes in early elementary, and loves fun repetition to help your Kindergarten and 1st grade students soak up the Bible as they explore what God’s Word says.  If you have a 5-year old that you feel is ready to move up to this class before starting Kindergarten, those kiddos are welcome to join this class as well.

SECOND - FIFTH GRADE GLASS  
This class learns from the same Biblical text as what our pastors teach in the weekend message, so that families can learn together each week.  We are going through The Greatest Story Ever Told in 2021- reading through the entire Bible!  Your kids will learn from Miss Merri who God is, who Jesus is, and how to navigate and study God’s Word together and then at home throughout the week.

Here are some things you need to know about our IN PERSON ministries:

• We will maintain social distancing, and count on parents/caregivers to instruct their children ahead of time for proper distancing and be self-checking for health concerns.
• We ask that families monitor for illness and that children in our care MUST BE fever (100.4) free (without medicine) for at least 24 hours. In addition to being fever free, a child must be free from diarrhea and/or vomiting for at least 24 hours. Children may be in our care only after 24 hours on an antibiotic if there has been strep or a contagious infection.
• Our spaces will allow for distancing as much as possible.
• Masks are welcome for children and volunteers.  These will be worn at the discretion of each volunteer/family.
• Our activities will be “no contact” and we will be using hand sanitizer before handing out supplies.
• Please drop off at start time and families plan a few minutes to sign in your children.  Pick up promptly at end time.
• We may have to limit group size, but are doing our best to be ready for your students.
