† 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.
† VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL MEETING There will be a VBS meeting after Sunday School next Sunday, June 2. We would love to have anyone already involved and anyone interested in being involved in VBS this year at our meeting. It would be great to have a large group involved in the process.
† 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. There is a sign-up sheet 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.
