Assist with Story Time
At the 10:30 Sunday service, during the sermon, the non-preaching pastor will lead Story Time in the Choir Room, for all kids aged 4 through 3rd grade, as parents choose.
Story Time is a 10-15 minute mini-lesson about the story being preached in worship. There will likely be a song, a dramatic reading, prayer and definitely an opportunity to move around.
Kids will return to their families during the Hymn of the Day, immediately after the sermon is completed.
You can help:
We need 2 parents each week to accompany this crew as it can be quite large and more than any one pastor can handle alone.
We hope every parent that is likely to make use of this Story Time ministry can spare a week or two over the course of the year so no one has to miss the adult sermon in the sanctuary with any regularity.
Please sign up for at least TWO dates when you can accompany the group with the Pastor to the Choir Room, stay there during the lesson and lead them all back to the sanctuary. It really is just assisting with 'classroom management' kind of stuff.
