General Information:

Nursery
Vision:
The vision for the nursery is in process.
General:
The nursery is for ages newborn through Pre K. It is located in the back of the church through the double doors.
We now have a “Crawling Room”. This is a room for ages newborn through 2 years. It will provide a place for parents and babies to be in a safe nurturing environment when they are unable to remain in the service. There are age appropriate toys available for play. There is sound installed in this room so that the message and worship can be heard.
There is a “mother’s nursing room” also available for mothers who are nursing their babies. This room provides a private, quite atmosphere for breastfeeding. There is also a changing table in this room.
A changing table has been placed outside the nursery door. This can be used when needed. Please place all dirty diapers in sanctuary trashcan.
The nursery is in process of starting an age appropriate curriculum. This will allow for a time of structure for the children. There will be a time of music, story, coloring activity, snack and play.
Nursery Rules and Guidelines:
Stay tuned for more information regarding our nursery guidelines.
Contact Information:
If you have any questions please see the following:
Kathy Dorrel: Schedule, general nursery questions
Jodi Dickenson: Supplies
Katie Wilson: Newsletter, weekly email reminders
Nursery Team:
The schedule for the nursery is in the nursery on the bulletin board. All helpers please remain in the nursery throughout the church service. All volunteers to read stories please go into the nursery at 11am for a time of snack and a Bible Story. You can do some songs or a coloring activity along with your story. Bible story books, snacks, and coloring books are all located in the nursery.
Nursery needs:
We are in need of toys and books for the crawling room and nursery. Please leave any donations outside the nursery doors.
If you want to donate snacks or drinks for the nursery please see Jodi Dickenson. There is a list for allowed food and drink items available.
We are in need of volunteers to commit to ministering in the nursery. We are hoping for individuals who would be willing to commit on a monthly basis. We hope to begin the new rotation in September. Depending on the response the plan is for individuals to only be committed 2 months out of the year. Our nursery attendant Emily will be going away to college. Thank you Emily for all you have given to our children!
Sound in the nursery:
There is now sound in the nursery and crawling room. Thank you Jason for taking the time to install this blessing to parents in the nursery!
Note from the Pastor:
I'm so excited to see so many children in our congregation. Children remind us so many important things about life and faith. They are so trusting and believing that they challenge us to examine our reliance upon God. Jesus said that unless adults become like children in this regard, they will fail to experience precious Kingdom blessings (Matthew 18:3).
It is also exciting for me to see the adults who joyfully minister to our children. I believe that God gives special grace to those who minister to children faithfully.
May the LORD continue to lead children to our fellowship and may we grow together with them in Christ!
