This is a reminder to be sure if you are planning events for the year to please mark the date on the wall calendar in the hall by room 9, including events that have traditional dates. Other ministry servants are interested in setting up dates and wish to be respectful to all so please mark your event as soon as possible. Dates unscheduled after January 16 will be assumed open for scheduling.
The Library is open after classes and the worship period. Don’t forget to return any overdue books to the library. There is a book return box located in the entry way next to the picture board.
Communication is so important for our relationships, especially between parents and children. “How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk” by Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish details a method of communication that is supportive, friendly and, best of all, effective. It tells how to solve common problems as: having cooperation without nagging, how to listen to and understand your child’s concerns, alternatives to punishment and more. In “How to Have Kids with Character” by Nadine Brown, you’ll find practical guidance for helping your children develop valuable character traits so they can become people of integrity. Find these and other parenting helps in the Family Life – Parenting section of our library.
Please see the bulletin boards for additional announcements.We have an attended nursery for small children during morning worship periods in room 2. We also have a training room at the rear of the auditorium where parents can stay with their little ones while worshiping.
A children’s worship is scheduled to begin near the start of the worship lesson time. Children’s Worship is intended to provide a time of worship for children age 3 thru Grade 3 and to encourage families with children.
Free CD’s of the Sunday morning sermons are available from Joel Ribar. Be sure to specify the date desired. MP3 copies of sermons are also available at the church web site.
When planning events, don’t forget to check the calendar in the back hallway by room 9 for conflicts and enter your own events. This is for events that involve use of the building and/or for a majority of the congregation.
