Summer Serving Opportunities

Preschool
The Preschoolers will be learning, playing and creating this summer just as they always are, but the rooms will be consolidated. The Giraffe and worship room are being transformed to office space. All 4's will be in the Frog room, all 3's in the Duck room and the 2's will be split as usual, per appropriate staffing. We have serving opportunities for a worship leader or storyteller for the summer. Talk to Toni Smith for details at tsmith@pulpitrock.com.

Kingdom Kids
With Summer Family Worship coming up in July, we have a great opportunity for an individual or a couple to serve. Kingdom Kids volunteers will provide fun for the children whose parents are serving or in an adult community class. We would like to have 4 shepherds for both the 9:30 and the 11:00 service hours. It would be most helpful if we could have someone sign up to do 2 or three weeks consecutively. Talk to Jaime Swope at jswope@pulpitrock.com for more details

Try these fun activities with your preschooler

You may have noticed the yellow pages that come with the weekly work of art your little one crafted. It’s called a Parent Page and it is simply packed with information and activities. One box is a simple activity you can do with little to no preparation like reading a bible story with your child or praying with him. One box generally had an activity that may require a little prep work like writing get well cards for sick people or making some thing out of colorful paper. The last box encourages you and your child to memorize the verse they learned in class. So, if you want a quick and easy way to do some activities without having to look any up in a book, look to your preschoolers take home pages and save them in a notebook for future use!

Preschool ABC’s:

Does F stand for faith or followers? Is G for God or grace? What would K be?

The Preschoolers are exploring the ABC’s of the Bible. In January, they will be doing the letters F, G, H, I, J, K, L. What in the world could those stand for? Drop by your kids class some time and find out! The kids sing songs, listen to stories, play games and do crafts that all center around the letter of the week.

We need help! The 11:00 hour of worship is the biggest area of need, especially in the 2 year old room. Also needed is a committed storyteller for that hour. (My tip: get a couple of puppets to tell your story and the kids will be mesmerized!).
