Sunday School Announcement from the Nursery
Please continue to announce this in your Sunday School class.
1. BONUS FUND:
The Nursery is such an important ministry and we are really praying that we can meet our goal of $10,000 this year. Make sure you turn your envelope in with your class folder each week so we can keep track of the money collected.
2. CRAFT COLLECTION:
We are collecting empty plastic milk/water jugs, used paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls. There will be a box located by the check-in desk both on the nursery floor (SonShine Valley) and on the 2nd floor (Merry Midlands) of the Children's building. Please feel to drop off these items as you collect them!
3. HOLIDAY PARENTS NIGHT OUT:
We are offering Parent's Night Out on four different days in December.
We are hoping that Sunday School classes will use these as a great opportunity to host their class Christmas parties. The dates are: Friday, Dec 12 from 4:45-9:45 Saturday, Dec 13 from 4:45-9:45 Friday, Dec 19 from 4:45-9:45 Saturday, Dec 20 from 4:45-9:45 This is open to Covenant members and non-members, children ages 6 weeks-10 years old, cost is $25 for 1st child and $5 for each additional. Reservations are recommended but not required. Please call 871-7004 to make reservations. This is not simply a babysitting service! We have fun things planned for each evening: decorating cookies, making homemade pizzas, arts and crafts, etc.
