Kids’ Ministry Update

Kids’ Wing Renovations

Promotion Sunday
We have many exciting things happening in our Kids’ Ministry program! Promotion is Sunday, August 12. That morning, drop off your children at their new classrooms (after checking them in, of course). Teachers are not moving them during class time as in the past. Due to overcrowding in nursery classes, we are dividing the classes based on how old your child is by August 15 (the Sumner County school cutoff date). The classes are:

  • 0-12 months (kids born August 16, 2017–August 15, 2018): First nursery room
  • 12-23 months (kids born August 16, 2016–August 15, 2017): Middle nursery room
  • 2 years (kids born August 16, 2015–August 15, 2016): Last nursery room
  • 3 years (kids born August 16, 2014–August 15, 2015): Orange room on Pre-K hall
  • 4 years (kids born August 16, 2013–entering Kindergarten): Pink room on Pre-K hall
  • Kindergarten: dark teal room on Pre-K hall
  • 1st-4th Grades: upstairs Common Area
  • 5th Grade: Library (moves to the new 5th Grade class upstairs upon completion of room)

Wednesdays
Since our Summer Series does not end until August 29, we are waiting to promote our Wednesday night classes. Beginning September 5, Wednesday classes are:

  • 0-23 months (kids born August 16, 2016–August 15, 2018): First nursery room
  • 2 years (kids born August 16, 2015–August 15, 2016): Last nursery room
  • 3-4 years (kids born August 16, 2013–entering Kindergarten): Pink room on Pre-K hall
  • Kindergarten: dark teal room on Pre-K hall
  • 1st-4th Grades: upstairs Common Area
  • 5th Grade: Library (moves to the new 5th grade class upstairs upon completion of room)

Nursery/Kids’ Church
The Nursery is available for ages 0-23 months during the entire 10am worship gathering. Kids’ Church is available for ages 2–Kindergarten during the latter half of the 10am worship gathering. 2-year-olds (kids born August 16, 2015–August 15, 2016) are in the last nursery room. 3-year-olds–Kindergarten (kids born August 16, 2014–Kindergarten) are in the Library.

Volunteer Today
We need Kids’ Church volunteers for the 2-year-olds for September, November, and December and for the 3-year-olds- Kindergarten for September and December. If you have a child in the Kids’ Ministry program, we ask that you fill an opening for a kids’ church spot, either this year or in 2019.

Policy Updates
It has been brought to our attention that electronics (phones, tablets, gaming systems, etc.) are sometimes brought to class. Beginning immediately, we are making all of our Kids’ Ministry classes screen-free zones in order to minimize these potential distractions. If your child has an electronic device, keep that device with you during class. If a device is brought to class, we have instructed the teacher to hold it until the child is picked up. Our goal is to make our time with your kids as meaningful and engaging as possible, and we feel this helps us in that effort. We appreciate your cooperation and if you have questions or concerns, please let us know.

Thank you for sharing your children with us. We are so excited to be a part of their lives as we all do our best to lead them to Christ.

In Him,
Jamie Walker, Kids’ Minister
Megan Lawson, Kids’ Ministry Assistant
