Family Ministry
Stay tuned as I am gathering a series of posts on Family Ministry – the partnering of church and the family to maximize spiritual growth in the life of a child.
I recently attended a large conference with speakers that are the best in the country on this topic and had my eyes opened and refreshed with some startling truths. I’ll be sharing them over the course of the next week.

BIG changes!
We are making some BIG changes in the next few weeks to better facilitate the growth we have had in our children’s ministry. If you are a parent of a child in our program, you’ll want to pay close attention:
*starting June 1st, we have new age classes:
- Room 101 – babies until 1
- Room 102 – Seedlings – 1’s
- Room 103 – Sprouts – 2’s
- Room 104 – Saplings – 3’s
- Room 105 – Big Backyard Jr. - 4’s
- Room 106 – Big Backyard – 5’s & K
* Elementary small groups (1st – 4th) and then the Clubhouse will be moving to the old Youth Room
* We are looking for 2-3 vounteers who would like to help in the Clubhouse when we need them as well – dramas, games, leaders, etc. These can serve on a weekly, monthly, or as needed basis – whatever works for you!
* We will be integrating our 5th and 6th graders into leadership roles as well through the 56. Our uprising 5th graders will not enter into the 56 until January. However, we’ll be using them and our previous 5th graders to help lead worship, sound, etc.
