Little Blessings
Family Ministries is delighted to announce th start of "Little Blessings" - a new program for families with young children within our church as well as the community. If you know someone with young children please share this information with them - we promise it will be a blessing! There is no charge to participate in this progarm, but pre-registration is required. Families should call the church office to register.
What are the goals of the program? To support Christian principles within families; to provide positive education interactions between children and their peers; to support families, especiallly where a parent has made the decision to stay at home with their child(ren) and to promote relationships within and between families.
How does the program work? We will meet twice a month during the school year, on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 9:30-11:00 am, beginning on 10/14/09. The first meeting each month will consist of activities for parents and children to enjoy together, such as bible stories, crafts, cooking projects, games etc. For the second meeting each month, parents will gather for a Christian parenting study, while infants and toddlers will play in the nursery, and preschool aged children will participate in supervised group play activities, such as block building, playdough, dress up, puzzles etc. The study is entitled "Creative Corrections", and participants will need to purchase a book from the study leader. The study is also open to parents of elementary school aged children while their children are in school.
If you would like more information, wish to register, or have items to donate, please contact the Lisa Lockwood through the church office .
