This year we are putting a large emphasis on Operation Christmas Child and using this act of service to also strengthen our families.  More detailed info is coming soon about shoebox packing and our OCC family event.  This family event will be a fun afternoon of games, learning and shoebox packing.  This event will have something for all ages, so we hope to see everyone out to share hope and the love of Jesus with needy children around the world.

Please mark your calendars for November 12, 3-5 pm.

All volunteers in the CCC Children’s Ministry are asked to attend one of our upcoming training sessions.  This will be a great time to connect with other volunteers, get motivated for the coming year and learn something new!  Please choose from the following two sessions:

Wednesday, August 31, 6-8 pm
OR
Tuesday, September 6, 6-8 pm

We hope to have 100% attendance so please make plans to join us!

Okay, Parents…It is that time of year again…we are putting away our beach towels and dusting off those backpacks for the start of another school year. This means it is also time for our Children’s Ministry Sunday School Kick‐Off! On Sunday, August 21 the children will move up to new classes. Please see the Age Group Descriptions to see which class your child will be in.

During the first twenty minutes of the Sunday School hour we will have an assembly to give you an opportunity to meet your child’s Sunday School teacher for the coming year and for make a few announcements pertaining to the coming year. Please drop off any babies or toddlers in their respective classes and bring all other children with you to the Sanctuary at 10:00 am. We will introduce the Sunday School teachers and dismiss the children to go with their teacher to class. After that we will have a brief parent meeting. At the conclusion of this meeting you will be dismissed to either join one of the Adult Sunday School classes in progress or spend time in fellowship in the foyer. We will both be there and available to answer questions you might have.

August 21 will also be the start of our new check‐in/check‐out procedures for the children in our Nursery, Toddler and Preschool Rooms. Please see the Check-In and Check-Out Procedures and make note that the biggest change is that you will pick up your child’s name tag and your parent security tag at the Welcome Station when you pick up your pager. We hope this change will streamline the check-in/check‐out process for everyone involved.

We are looking forward to another great year in Children’s Ministry!
