We are making plans to re-open the PGKIDS children's department during the 11:00 am worship hour. This means we will open the Nursery to be spread out among the entire preschool department classrooms and change the ages to be 0 to 3 years-old. Kids Worship will operate downstairs in the fellowship hall and will include ages 4 years-old through 6th grade. Re-opening will be strictly based on volunteer responses. Anyone who has served in the children's ministry is being asked to consider either serving in the nursery once a month at the 11 am hour or serving in the Kids Worship Hour at 11 am once a month. We need at least 10 volunteers each Sunday to open the children's department for the 11 am hour and to adhere to proper social distancing guidelines. If you are able to commit to one Sunday a month please let Michelle know ASAP. If you have any questions about how this will work, please contact Michelle Frye at mfrye@pineygrovebc.org.

In light of COVID-19, PGKids desires to come alongside primary caregivers to provide on-site support for virtual learning needs, teach biblical truths and love the children unconditionally, just as Christ loves us. We would like to offer an opportunity for children who are active in Piney Grove Kids to participate in a remote learning experience on the campus of Piney Grove Baptist Church. The PG Kids Remote Learning Program will encompass academics, recreation, and spiritual development in a small group setting.

The PGKIDS Remote Learning Program is for:

PINEY GROVE RE-OPENING PLAN- Update

Planning is underway to move into Step 2 of our church re-opening plan. The exact date has not yet been decided but we are aiming for the end of August/early September. Many things must happen in order to move forward. The biggest need in order to move forward is having volunteers.

Here are some of the things we're working toward:

We will continue to give you updates as they're available. Keep an eye out for ways you can serve. Please be aware that moving to Step 2 is dependent upon having enough volunteers.

1. SAVE YOUR SPOT- If you currently serve in a volunteer role here at PGBC please make a quick call or email to the Nominating Committee or Church Staff and let them know that you will be returning this coming church year to your current position(s). Or let them know what other area you are interested in serving.

2. WHAT’S YOUR PASSION?- Whether you currently serve or are not yet plugged in, let the Nominating Committee know what areas of service spark your interest. The door is open for brand new opportunities and experiences so think about what you are passionate about and where the Lord is leading you. Where will you shine for the Lord this coming year?

The entire Piney Grove church staff would like to share a loving reminder that we are here for you and your family. Many folks have gotten so comfortable staying at home and not making connection with others that they have forgotten there is a whole team of folks who love and support them. Whether you find yourself in a crisis, are in need of prayer or encouragement, would like counseling, or you just want to hear a friendly voice, please don't hesitate to call on us.

For the next few months the information that would normally be put in the monthly newsletter will be included in the weekly bulletin emails. This will not only give you the latest and greatest information every week but will also allow us to streamline our communications in the church office. Once we have moved into Step 3 of the PGBC re-opening plan then we will reassess our communication strategies and possibly resume the separate monthly newsletters at that time.

For those who are homebound or receive a printed copy of the newsletter in the mail, we will continue to mail you information at the beginning of each month to include the bulletin, church calendar, and monthly birthday list. If you have any questions please contact the church office.
