*ECM Parents, It’s important to use positive language when talking with your child about their new class. When preparing your child for this transitions, use positive language such as, “Your new class will be fun for you now that you are getting bigger” or “Your new room will have fun new toys to play with.” Do not use phrases such as, “I know you might be scared….” or “don’t be afraid.”  It only plants the seed that there is reason to fear this change.

Elementary Ministry:  Kids Kindergarten-5th Grade

At the 8:00 & 11:00 services, all kids Kindergarten through 5th grade meet in E205 (upstairs in the ed wing) for PowerHouse.  PowerHouse is a dynamic kids worship with creative lessons that help kids understand how the Bible applies to their lives.

At the 9:30 service, kids learn together grouped by grade.  These groups have lessons that are directed at each child’s grade level. Kids divide up into small groups, but the listing below is for their homeroom (drop off & pick up)

• Kindergarten: E50
• 1st Grade: E112
• 2nd Grade: E116
