Ministry Change to Children’s Church Our Children's Church program is a wonderful ministry for our four and five-year-olds. In the morning worship service, they are excused during the Doxology to their classroom which is located on the first floor near the sanctuary. Adult members volunteer to lead the children in a Bible story, elements of our worship service, and end with a coloring sheet. We are making a slight adjustment to our program by offering this ministry to our 4-year-olds through kindergarteners. When children complete their kindergarten class, they will "graduate" to full–time attendance in the morning worship service. When children finish their kindergarten school MESSENGER year in May, they will receive a bag that can be used to carry their church items to the worship service. Thank you so much for making note of our change. Hopefully this guideline will make it easier for our parents and children as they transition to full time attendance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 897-2214 or email [email protected]. Blessings to all of our families! Amy R. Martin MAY 2018 PAGE 9
