PRESCHOOL NEWS
PRESCHOOLERS AND CHILDREN’S WORSHIP
Children’s Worship begins on Sunday, September
7th, in Adult 8 & 9 during both morning services. All
preschoolers in our PreK and Kindergarten Sunday
School classes are invited to attend Children’s Worship
with our 1st - 6th graders. Parents, if you would like
to see what Children’s Worship is all about, feel free
to attend with them for a week or two. Preschoolers
may be checked into Children’s Worship on the touch
monitors, just like for Sunday School.
WE REALLY NEED YOU FOR ETC!
Extended Teaching Care is what we call our sessions for
babies through 3 years olds during our worship services
on Sunday mornings. It takes a lot of volunteers to keep
our extended session going, and we are in need of some
more volunteers! Please pray about becoming a part of
our ETC team. You would ideally serve only 4 times per
year, once per quarter. It is such a vital ministry in our
church, and we are so thankful for those who are a part!
If you would like to volunteer or to get more information
about volunteering, please call Angela Mitchell at 8237124 or Ashley Walden at 823-7110.

Bible. While you are out this month, your child(ren)
will enjoy playing in the gym, making apple crafts, and
eating a healthy snack. The cost is $15 per family for
members and non-members. The deadline to reserve
your spot will be Sunday, September 7th, 2014. Please
call Tonya Cox at 348-2505 or 891-2241 with any
