For ALL AGES:

Joseph's Family

Genesis 37:1-11; 45

Genesis 41:37 - 45:15

Wonder Questions: I wonder how Joseph's brothers felt when Jacob gave Joseph the beautiful coat? I wonder how Joseph felt when his brothers sold him to the Egyptians? I wonder if Joseph knew God was with him no matter where he was? Do you know that God watches over you, too?

If you are interested as serving as the Room Parent for your child's classroom, please email your classroom teacher, or send them a chat on our Playground App.

At this time your duties will be very minimal, but if you wish, you can organize a class gift for the teacher and assistant for Christmas. This is optional. If you wish to organize a gift, you can email Celeste May at cmay@stjohn.tv for a list of "Staff Favorites".

Hopefully we will get back to non-restrictive events in the near future.

Thank you!

This is an updated Pandemic Plan - please review carefully.

RAPID COVID TESTING

St. John ECC will only be able to provide rapid COVID-19 testing until November 7th. At that time our test kits will expire and as of this week, new kits are not being made available to private religious preschools. We are hoping a new vendor will include schools in that category in the near future. We will keep you updated.

For COVID-19 questions, reporting, and/or guidance on quarantine protocols, please contact Letty Wilson. Letty does all COVID testing and record keeping for the school. Also, if your child goes home with a fever, or has run fever at home, please schedule a COVID test with Ms. Letty before they return to school. Thank you!
