SuperStart!

Have you registered your 3rd – 5th grader for the SuperStart event? If not, here are some reasons why you should:

1. It is going to be a really awesome time with other kids from our church.

2. We get to host it this year, which is just totally cool.

3. The Lads are going to be there putting on a cool concert and Yancy is going to lead worship.

4. Jason Lee wants 100 kids to go, because he knows it is going to be that great.

5. There will be awesome small group and large group enviroments where the children will be challenged to do a good work!

Register your child this Sunday at the Elementary information desk.  Registration deadline is Wednesday, February 24th.

Also, if you want to help out with the event make sure you let the coordinator know at the front desk.  There are plenty of ways that we could use your help!

Honor:

Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Honor one above yourself.

This month we are being challenged to honor one another.  What are ways that you can honor those around you?

Preschool Curriculum

It is a priority to have the Preschool Curriculum available for you review prior to Sunday morning. Our goal is to do that  through this website.  Until we can do that consistently each week,  we will send the curriculum to you via e-mail.  As always, a printed copy of your curriculum will be in your  classroom.  We sincerely appreciate your patience in this matter.

With the possibility of inclement weather, we realize that some of our volunteers may be unable to serve on Sunday morning as planned.  If the weather or another situation prevents you from coming, please call the Preschool line 289-3070, as soon as possible.  

 In the event, the weather ever warrants the decision to cancel the 9am service, we will ask all of our volunteers to  serve at the 11am service.   If that happens and you are able to help, please check in with the Lead Coordinator at the Volunteer Central where you normally serve between 10:30 and 10:45.

January is an Exciting Month!
