Dear Parents, As we are settling into our new rooms and new routine in the children’s and nursery departments, we wanted to make you aware of a few things. All children need to be checked in downstairs in the lobby. If the computers are not working properly, or you have a child that is not registered, please find Pastor Chris, Nicole Rhoades or Nancy Nelson and we will help you. Please make sure you have your “claim ticket” and make sure your child is wearing their name tag. This process is for the safety of our children. As we continue to grow, there will be people we don’t know joining us and we need to get in the habit now of checking in and out and wearing the stickers. I know the older children are not that excited about wearing the stickers, but please help us by stressing the importance of wearing the stickers. For dismissal, the children will be in their rooms. When you come to pick your child up, please make sure that you stop and give us your ticket, we will check your child(ren) out. Nursery parents will be allowed to pick up their child(ren) once they have been checked out. Children’s department, we will get them for you. This will eliminate any chaos and confusion in the door area. If your child will be attending Children’s Church, we will give the ticket back to you. You will need to show your ticket to whomever is in charge of Children’s Church that week and they will call your child to you. Check out time can be hectic and we are trying to keep everyone safe. We will not let your children leave without your “claim ticket.” If you want someone other than you to pick up your child, they MUST have the ticket. Nursery Department For those attending the 8 a.m. worship service we ask that you come get your child(ren) from the nursery during fellowship time and then return them to their appropriate classes no earlier than 9:20. This enables the volunteers and teachers ample time to switch and regroup for the Sunday School hour. Also, be on the lookout for an “in” door and an “out” door to the nursery. Pleasefollow the same policy that the school follows regarding illness and fever. Your child must be fever free/on medication for 24 hours before coming to class. Children’s Department Please do not let your child come upstairs any earlier than 9:20. We cannot have students upstairs without adult leaders. Teachers will be here by 9:20. When students come upstairs, they need to find their designated class area in the open area, by the stairs, and sit down. We will begin doing an opening every Sunday morning in this area before we head to class. Please check the calendar of dates on the bulletin board as well. We have lots of fun activities planned for kindergarten-5th grade. You will also find registration forms for TeamKID and VBS as well as the medical release form for any field trips we take. As with any change, it will take time to work the kinks out. Please be patient as we all learn this new procedure. Last week, Chris told us some startling statistics regarding the safety of children. Please remember this is all in an effort to keep your children safe. Thank you, Sunday School Teachers of Nursery through 5th grade “He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Psalm 91:4

CARD MINISTRY When we receive a card…especially one through snail mail…it reminds us that someone cares. For a while cards have been available in the hymnal racks and on a shelf in the library foyer for your use in reaching out to say you care. Pick one up today…perhaps even one each week… and mail it to someone you have missed, someone who is ill or recuperating, or someone to whom you want to say thank you. Missy Belshe oversees this ministry; watch for her new ideas about how to reach out. For those of you who donate your extra cards, please keep them coming; they are a great help!

FBC 150th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION…2021! We are hoping to get stories about members…both past and present to help us “tell our story.” Some of you have promised to share stories, and a few neat ones have come in, but we need more! Tell about something that just happened that will uplift or amuse, or tell about something you heard or remember from past years. For instance, Jeana Calloway-Hodson wrote about the impact Betty Chiles has had on her life as a young pastor’s wife. How the lights went out as Rev. Howard E. White was presenting flowers one Mother’s Day and Art Allen’s reaction was priceless! A collection envelope is located under the bulletin board in the library foyer.

Operation Christmas Child! The challenge is on! And it comes with three options: #1 Take a box home and fill it with items to bless a child. As you do, pray for the child who will receive it. #2 Collect and donate items for the Team Kids to pack in boxes next fall. The crate for donations is outside the office area. #3 Donate money to help with processing, shipping, and training as well as the cost of the Greatest Gift Gospel materials used to bring the gospel to the children, a total of $9 per box. What goes in a box? Things to delight and bless a child who may have never had a gift. Include a quality “WOW” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal. Fill with other fun toys, hygiene or clothing items and school supplies. Think boys/girls, ages 2-4, 5-9, 10-14.
