Preschool & Children's Ministry News - October 28, 2010

Summer is over and our new year has begun! Summer whizzed by us real fast with a total of 145 children. Yes, we all stayed busy and the highlight of the summer was the Fun Jumps. The children enjoyed them immensely.

Our new year has begun with a total of 150 children enrolled. Teachers and students are very excited and enthusiastic and we are all looking forward to a wonderful year together.

We welcome to our staff this year four new employees: Dana Hebert - Younger 2's Teacher; Trisha Haley - Toddler Assistant; Mona McRae - Assistant for 2's; Kendra Domingue - Assistant for Nursery. We are pleased to welcome these four dedicated ladies to our staff as part of the Covenant Family.

Parents and teachers alike are very thankful for this ministry of the church. We are striving to present these children with a solid foundation on which to build their lives and it's because of you that we are able to do so. Please keep the staff, parents and children of YOUR preschool in your prayers.

The big deal with children's ministries is that the kids are back in school! August was a busy month with Bibles being presented to our third graders, book blessing tags were given to all students to remind them that they are never alone - God is with them and they have an entire church family praying for them, and we honored our Acolytes for their service to our church. We have several new ones and several who are "graduating" and are ready for new volunteer positions.

By the time you read this, our Children's Ministries Leaders will have met to discuss the future of Children's Ministries. We have looked at what is working well, what we need to add, and how we can improve. Keep alert for upcoming announcements about children's programs, particularly Sunday school. Suggestions and ideas are always welcome.

These children are the future Church Council members, Finance committees and SPR Committees. They will carry on the legacy of Covenant United Methodist Church in to the coming days. When volunteer opportunities arise, please consider contributing to the future through our children.

Blessings to you as you serve the Lord in this place,
Kim
