Children & Family
KidZone Summer Programs - WE NEED YOU!
What a year it's been in KidZone! It's hard to believe the last day of our current program is almost here. However, we are excited about the summer programs we have planned.
Beginning June 1, Children's Ministry will offer two Sunday morning programs for children preschool age through fifth grade. The first program, Summer Kidz, will serve families attending the 9:25am Praise service and the 9:45am EPIC service. The second, Kidz Church, will serve families attending the 11am Praise service. The Infant and Toddler program will continue with its current schedule and will offer care during all Sunday morning services.
To ensure these programs are safe and fun for your children, we are in need of a wide range of volunteers. If everyone would serve just one Sunday this summer, we will have the number of volunteers needed to make these programs a great success! It takes a village to raise a child!
Please look over your summer schedules, review the dates below and sign up for one of these dates by sending an email to me. I'll be in touch to answer any questions and find the perfect spot for you!
June 8, 15, 22, 29
