| The nursery is open for every church service for your children. We have a wonderful nursery with age
appropriate toys and games for both infants and toddlers, and our
nursery coordinators are trained in CPR. When you drop off your child(ren), you will receive matching bracelets with a image of an animal on them. This is a security measure that ensures the right child(ren) go home with the right parent. |

| Children’s Worship |
2007-08 Schedule |
|
During
the Sunday morning worship services, children Pre-K thru Kindergarten go
to their own “Worship Centers”. While there, they learn about God
with Bible stories and songs, then do activities that reinforce the
stories in a fun and stimulating way. Modeled after the
Montessori teaching method, this program is a unique and valuable
experience for children and their leaders. Bring your child(ren)
with you for the start of the Sunday morning service, and they will be
dismissed after the first few songs.
If you would like to volunteer as a teacher or helper, email Ann DeGroot. |

| Just Between |
2007-08 Schedule |
|
Our 3's program has a new name! It's called Just Between.
Just Between is for all three year olds who need the next
step up from nursery, but aren't quite old enough for the
formal worship setting experience of Children's Worship. At
Just Between, 3 year olds will have a time away from the
regular church service and are lovingly led by a teacher and a
helper. There will be time for a Bible story, an activity or
craft that coordinate with the story, singing and a snack.
If you would like to volunteer as a teacher or helper, email Cathi VanVuuren. |
