LITTLE CREW GIVES THANKS!

October was filled with fun activities in Little CREW!  In November, our little ones will learn all abut being thankful!  Our toddlers will focus on how God is our provider-giving us food, family and things we need.  Our PreK3 and PreK4 class will continue in their Alphabet Bible Curriculum with letters I, J and K- with a focus on showing appreciation for the many things we have.  Don't miss a Sunday with us this Fall!  GREAT things are happening here!

FINAL OCTOBER CREW STORE 

For the month of October, we have opened up our awesome Crew Store for shopping each Sunday.  This Sunday will be our last day to shop from 9:00-9:30 am.  Our next store opening will be December 15th.

Parents: can you help monitor one of these Sunday crew stores?  Contact Rachel Godin if available.

WHAT WE DO
Every Sunday at 9:30 am, your children will
Sing, Dance, Pray, Give, Laugh, Play, Learn, Love, Encounter, Share, and Follow. All in the name of Jesus!

WHY WE DO IT
At First Pres, we are on a mission to make disciples who make disciples.  In other words, we want to your children to KNOW Jesus and to make Him KNOWN!

There is not a SINGLE minute wasted in CREW Children's Ministry.

Give, Serve, Connect and Invite?
