Easter
Thank You: Wanted to give a BIG Thank
You to everyone who worked, supported, and raced this past Easter Sunday.
Despite the weather, the children enjoyed grabbing bags of eggs and lots of
candy. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to teach our classes, work the egg
distribution, and everyone who brought in the over 3,000 filled eggs!

THE
GREAT EGG RACE WINNER: Congratulations to Don and Bambi Wright’s
Kindergarten and 1st grade class for winning THE GREAT EGG RACE
2013. The K1 class brought in over 800 filled Easter Eggs, and they will be
having a pizza party connection event very soon.

A Few
Special Reminders: DC and KZ parents, we love working with your
students every week. Here are a few reminders to help us make Extended Session
a wonderful Christ-filled time for all students and leaders. And if there is
anything we can do to help you in your walk as a parent, please let us know!
o
Toys: Please help
us by keeping candy (yes, even peppermints), toys, and stuffed animals at home.
Food products do not belong in Kid’z Zone due to many children with life
threatening allergies. Toys are often a distraction to our students. We
encourage you to keep toys at home from Sunday Morning Fun in Sunday School and
Children’s Church.
o
Pick up: Please remember to pick
up your child from Discovery Club (104) and Kid’z Zone (132) promptly after the
10:45 am worship service. Teachers have children who need to be picked at as
well, and we ask that you respect our volunteers’ time by picking up your
child. We DO NOT release children to find parents.
o
Hitting and yelling: One of
our Kid’z Zone rules is we do not fight or yell. (Unless we are shouting to the
Lord!) Recently, in our children’s church groups, we’ve had a few incidents
with aggressive behavior. Please help us by talking to your children about
keeping their hands to themselves and using nice words.
o
Bathroom Time: Please take
your children to the bathroom before worship. We have many children getting up,
wandering the halls, and going to the bathroom during church. We also have a
huge amount of children in a constant rotation leaving DC and KZ to go to the
bathroom. We would like to cut down on the distraction to our teaching time and
the music ministry by encouraging our students to go before church!
o
Extra Help: Can you believe
that DC is running up to 13 preschoolers each week? How about Kid’z Zone having
27 children? Isn’t that just AMAZING! And we need your help! Extended Session
is looking for some “helper” volunteers. People who will come to be assistants
to the teachers, take children to the bathroom, and help with crowd control. If
you are willing to volunteer, please let Elizabeth know.
