New Children's Church Curriculum

On May 11 we will begin Young Explorers, a Children's Church curriculum by Gospel Publishing House. God's Orchard, the first 13-week program, will teach children about the fruit of the Spirit, through object lessons, games and activities. I'd like to express a special "thank-you" to all of our volunteers! If you are interested in helping in Children's Church, please let Amity know. Thanks!

Look for updates in our Prechool Room!

Thanks to the graciousness of our board, our preschool room will be undergoing some changes. We will soon be installing a new 26" flat screen t.v. with built-in DVD player. This will make worship time lots of fun, with interactive music videos that get the kids moving! And, for a little down time, we can play the occasional movie, served, of course, with popcorn!

Another coming feature is a half-door. We will be installing a door that can be shut on the bottom and open on top, which will allow parents visual access to their children without disturbing the class.

Missed the preschool meeting? Look for an upcoming podcast, which will explain all of our new procedures and helpful tips that were discussed. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I'd love your input! -Amity
