Dear Children’s Parents and Team,

We have surely had a great time being together in worship for the last several weeks, but on this coming Sunday, as well as in the foreseeable future, we will be having all children, 5^th grade age and younger check into the children’s area and remain in that area for our 10:30 a.m. worship time. We have music just for them and a time to introduce the day’s lesson that will help Sunday mornings be less rushed.

Since we got lots of positive feedback about having the children in worship during the summer, we will try to have them present out front on a somewhat regular basis in order to give us all a chance to be together as the church. Please feel free to email me, call or email Steven or Jason Anderson if you wish for your voice to be heard with regards to this change.

It is our hope to begin having regular practices for our children’s praise team again, on Sunday mornings. Please contact me (see info below) if you are interested in this opportunity for your child.

On a personal note, I am working full time now, at Ella’s new school and am staying very busy, so can use all of your help more than ever to make Sunday mornings and special events run smoothly. If you can help, just email or call or see me!!!

Much Love,

Yours in Christ,

Dear Parents and friends:

Just a reminder note: the children will be meeting on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at Mt Carmel Park for a very informal play date and picnic.

Please come and bring a picnic if you wish, also consider bringing a riding toy, bike or skates for your child to play with, there is a really nice little track around the playground area.

Feel free to invite anyone you wish. In the case of bad weather, I will understand if you don’t make it!!!

Yours in Christ,
