† SUNDAY SCHOOL NURSERY The Christian Education Committee would like to try to offer a nursery option for parents wanting to attend Bible Class starting in June. Regular Sunday School classes begin at age 3 and there are teachers for those classes. For children under 3 years old we would like to offer a place for supervised play, snack, and a very short simple age appropriate Jesus message. All materials and snacks will be provided in the nursery classroom. There is a sign up sheet located by the door of the nursery room for people wanting to help out in this classroom. You can also call the church office, 358-1325, if you are willing to sign up.
† MARK YOUR CALENDAR The annual Friday Night Family Campout has been scheduled for June 7 – 8. This event will be held at the “The Fishing Hole” (Dale & Lee Ann B.’ property south of Lockwood). Please contact Dale, with any questions. Watch for a sign-up sheet and directions in the narthex.
† SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING The Spring quarter offerings from both Sunday School and Adult Bible Class will be going to LovinGrace in Joplin. This is a faith based organization that provides a Christian-based approach for helping young women who have aged-out of foster care, are homeless, or have limited support systems to obtain the skills and education they need to live a productive life on their own.
† NURSERY/CRY ROOM Should your child become distressed or distract others during the service, a furnished nursery/cry room is located in the narthex for your use. Please ask one of the ushers if you need directions.
† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.
† BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the nurse’s office after the service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
† ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
