Woo hoo!
Do you hear ice cream calling your name? It's time to celebrate!
School's almost out!!!
We are so excited to see you and your kids again this summer--for Sunday school and all the fun summer programming, which starts next week!
Be sure to scroll down to check the rosters to make sure your child is signed up for the summer programs you're planning on. We are busy getting ready and can't wait!
We've even made some plans for fall! Scroll down to the bottom of this newsletter for new items to add to your calendar.
One more thing. Come the end of summer, when our monthly events kick back up again, we will be in desperate need of POC qualified chaperones. Please take time to take care of this during June and July. In the past we've let folks accompany their kids to events, but not as chaperones. We can no longer continue that practice. We have to have POC qualified volunteers in order to take kids to Denver Downs or caroling, etc. To begin the POC process, click here.
Thanks so much, friends! Our programming happens because of you!
See you at church!
Love, Becky

Sunday School Is Back in Session! |
|
We're SO EXCITED to be back in Sunday School!
It's been so long, so here's how it works:
Drop your child off in our Gathering Room (B420) between 9:15 and 9:25.
We'll hang out there and have announcements and a prayer. At 9:25 we dismiss to our classes, which combine during the summer.
Grades 1, 2, & 3: Room B417
Grade 4 & 5: Room B424
St. Francis Class: Room B419
Sunday school ends at 10:15, when parents pick up children from their individual classes.
We hope to see you soon!
