behavior.

When church
service finishes:
 |
Your babies
and toddlers will be in room P-10. You will need to pick them up there for
safety purposes.
|
 |
Other children will be in their classrooms. Please come and sign them out.
|
 |
Snacks will
be provided at the Hospitality table outside the worship center. Most parents
have fellowship there after church and meet their children at the Hospitality
Table.
|
 |
If you
would like to donate snacks we ask for simple treats that can be kept from one
week to another in case of extra. (fruit punch syrup, granola bars, animal
cookies, graham crackers, etc.)

During the
week:
 |
We
encourage you to review each week’s lesson with your children, perhaps in a
family devotion time. Children attending Sunday School will be given a
“take-home page” with activities for the whole family during the week.
|
 |
There are
also great free resources on the internet for family time.
