Markey Children
December 2011 Happenings
Christmas is almost here!! Lots of things happening in Kids Krossing this month; On December 4th the children will be singing at the 8:30am and 11:00am services. On December 10th from 4:00pm-6:00pm in the Markey gym join us for One Starry Night. One Starry Night is a family event with stories about Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, there will be light supper at the Inn and lots of crafts around the Marketplace.
December 24th at 5:00pm we will have a children/family Christmas Eve service, filling in for Pastor Jim will be Ms Autumn and Ms Megan. Also, if you haven’t yet please pick up a family advent calendar on the counter in Kids Krossing. Along with the family calendar is a Manger Scene advent calendar for each child to take home. Thank you for all of support for Operation Lovies, we have received so many Lovie donations and a good start to our financial donations for postage.
Have you seen Kids Krossing?
Ms. Autumn, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Erin and Ms. Megan have been working hard to give Kids Krossing a makeover. We have made some great positive changes. For example, there are activities at 10:00am on Sunday’s for kids of all ages while parents attend a Sunday School group. At the 11:00am Worship Service at children’s dismissal time the are classrooms for individual age groups and a staffed nursery. Infant to 2 years olds stay in the nursery with Ms. Megan. Ms. Erin and the preschoolers venture to the peach room for a lesson on The Story. The Story lessons for Kindergarten thru 3rd grade meet with Ms. Autumn in the green room. 4th thru 6th grade meet with Ms. Melissa in the blue room. The study of The Story has gone well these last few weeks and we look forward to the studies ahead.
We also have mailboxes for each child. The mailboxes are located between the office and the TV Room (yellow room). Please check your child’s mailboxes weekly. On top of the mailboxes is a whiteboard that will have an announcements or reminders on it.
When picking up your children at the end of service or Blast we ask that you wait by the craft room counter for your child(ren) until they are dismissed, this helps us keep track of who’s been picked up and who’s not. If you have little ones in the nursery you may go in the nursery to them.
We as a team have decided that candy will not be distributed after church.
We have lots of great family activities planned for this church year and look forward to sharing it with you all.
