Important Security Information

In our children’s classes from toddlers – 1^st grade each parent or guardian who drops off their child in Bible class each Sunday and Wednesday should receive a card with a security number on it. In order to pick up your child after class you must return this same card to the teacher. For the security of all children we can make no exceptions to this rule. If you forget to bring the card back with you, you will be asked to go get the card and return with it before your child can be released to you. This applies even if the teacher is familiar with your family and has released your child to you before. We apologize for any inconvenience, but appreciate your understanding that the security of all children at our congregation has to be our highest priority.

We have contributed several hundred pounds of non-perishable food items to the Harvest House! Thank you for the generous help with this. We will announce the class that brought the most soon and have a special treat for that class.
