JANUARY 2022
Happy New Year CREW families!

It's time for a fresh start in our fresh new building! To kick off 2022, ages PreK2 through 5th grade will be involved in a 2 week space-themed series called, BLAST OFF! Click the icon to see some of the big ideas and activities your child will be taught in their CREW/Little CREW classes.

This newsletter contains lots of important dates and information, and is the best way for you to have an overview of our children's ministry. Please take a few minutes to read and pray about how your family can be "all in" with your church this year.
Let your roots grow in Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Colossians 2:7

Joyfully,
Rachel Godin
2022 CALENDAR-SAVE THE DATES!
Parents, click on the calendar icon to view and print an overview of our most important dates for 2022! This will help with planning ahead. Of course, more information will be sent out regarding each event as dates approach. We can't wait to do life with you and your children!
LET'S TALK ABOUT...BIRDS AND BEES
We know that just the idea of talking to your kids about sex is terrifying. You probably don’t have fond memories of your parents having “the talk” with you, or maybe it didn’t even happen! Your kids need and deserve something better than an awkward conversation at an awkward age. 

Join us on February 8th from 6-8 pm, where we will share with you practical strategies and tools to give you confidence to talk to your kids about the basics. This content will be most helpful for parents of children birth through 10 years old. This event is FREE and open to anyone who may be interested. Optional dinner is provided for $5.
VALENTINE PAJAMA JAM!
WHEN: Friday, February 11th
TIME: 5-9pm
COST: $5/per child
WHERE: First Pres, 3302 W. Horatio St.

Parents, enjoy an evening out while your children experience a Valentine's themed Pajama JAM at First Pres! The night will be filled with music, games, crafts, hot chocolate, and a movie! Plus, a pizza dinner is provided for appropriate ages. Birth through 5th grade are encouraged to wear comfy pajamas, and get ready for a LOVE-filled night of fun!
