New This Year

THE NEW AND IMPROVED PARENT ROOM

In the small room off the sanctuary is the parent room, where families with young children may go during the worship service when need be. There are some quiet toys, books, and coloring sheets.

There are now bulletin boards for notices; clipboard for sign up sheets, wish lists (we'll post our wish lists soon), and comments from you; a bookshelf to neatly store toys, puzzles and books, and where we will leave any handouts or CDs your child missed if they didn't attend children's worship. You will also find children's offering envelopes and children' worship information cards (business card size) in here.

We've also rearranged the large chairs, to open up the space. Feel free to move the chairs as needed.

About one of the magnetic bulletin boards:

Jesus Loves the Little Children...of Bethel! We hope each of you will bring a small (wallet size, 3x5 or 4x6) picture of your children in a magnetic frame (available at many stores for less than $2) to adorn the red magnetic board area.

NEW this year: Offering.

We're teaching the children about giving back a portion of what god has given you. They may give of their time, talent or treasure. That can mean: a portion of their allowance, a draw

ing they made, things they don't need anymore (like gently used toys, books or clothes), or the following items that we will be collecting and donating:

October: Canned goods

November: gloves, mittens, hats

December: toys

There will also be a special children's offering on 1st Sundays in the main sanctuary (details to come).
