NURSERY MINISTRY
(infant - age 2 by 9/1)
We offer teaching and nursery care for infants through 2 years old (by 9/1). There are five rooms broken down by stages of development to better teach and care for your precious child. We are blessed to have a loving, paid staff to care for your child while you attend Sunday School, Worship and other special activities. We also rely on parent-team volunteers to assist in making our nursery safe and nurturing. We utilize the loving talents of trained youth volunteers to help as well. For more information, contact Lisa Engberg or 770.339.9801. |

Enjoy a snack supper, lesson and activities relating to that lesson. In the past, our 4th graders have also participated in various service and mission projects around the church, and even went caroling off-site in December last year. In May, 4th graders "graduate" to Flight 56 (our 5th and 6th grade youth group) by attending our lock-in and final meeting of the school year.
Fun Fourth Sunday dates for 2009-2010: August 23, September 27, October 25, November 22, December 13 (due to Christmas), January 24, February 28, March 28, and April 25.
