After our Parent Meeting on November 5th, it was decided that we would begin asking the Parents of our Heritage KIDS to serve as Small Group Leaders for our children’s programing on Sunday Mornings. What does this mean for you? It means that we get the opportunity to mentor and build meaningful relationships with the children, and this is where faith truly develops!

Logistically this would mean you serving for the 9 AM hour for 3 Sundays consecutively. I know this seems like a lot! For the benefit of the children and the relationships that I know will form, having consistency is key! There is a Sign-Up form that will let me know that you are willing to serve, I will then add you as a small group volunteer to Planning Center (our scheduling software). This will allow you to sign up for the weeks that you know you will be here. It will also send you weekly reminders when you are scheduled for a small group on Sundays. Planning Center will also give you access to our lesson plans so that you may read through them in advance.

Sunday Morning Schedule for the 9AM Service
8:45 to 9:10 Children Arrival and Game Play
9:10 to 9:25 Large Group Activity
9:25 to 9:50 Small Group Activity
9:50 to 10:00 Prayer and Dismissal

Sunday Morning Schedule for Communion (Usually the 1st Sunday of the month)
Nursery will be open starting at 8:45am.
Children will worship with their families for part of the 9am service. You are encouraged to sign them in prior to service starting.
When children are called to come forward during the service for the children’s message we ask that their families come forward and sit in the front few pews so that when communion starts after the children's message you can receive communion with them. After being served communion you would then exit with your child(ren) to walk them to the Children’s Ministry room in Building B. You will return to service after dropping off your child.
9:30 to 10:00 Large Group Activity and Extension on the Children’s Lesson given during the sermon.
