4th Sunday

The 4th Sunday in January is next week (the 28th) and school age kids will be attending the service with their parents. I'm really excited about this! At Cool River we really want parents to engage spiritually with their kids. We believe in the importance of parents and other adults modeling an attitude of worship and community to our kids. We believe that there is a lot to be learned by a child having the opportunity to attend the corporate worship service. And even though an hour on a Sunday morning is only a small step towards mentoring and discipling our kids, we want to make it a priority all the same. We hope that this becomes a great experience for all families.

On Sunday morning please know that we are asking all parents to sit with their children in the service. All school age kids will be given a box filled with activities to keep their hands busy. They will also be given a piece of paper with an activity that parents can assist them with throughout the service if they want. This activity will encourage listening skills as Kevin speaks. After the service, families can take this paper to Amy and the kids will receive a reward for a job well done.

All nursery and preschool ministries will continue as always.

I hope you all have a terrific week! Can't wait to see you again on Sunday!
Amy
