Beginnings Room

As of September, the Beginnings Room is now open on a weekly basis during the Sunday morning church service! We have 3 regularly attending toddlers, and therefore are able to schedule Beginnings class every week rather than operating it on an “on call” basis.

You may also have noticed that the Beginnings Room has receiving a bit of a makeover recently, with a beautiful new wall, complete with wood trim and a fresh coat of paint. Poke your head in sometime on your way upstairs to see the changes!

The Beginnings Room is for children ages 6 months to 4 years old. It is a place where the church comes alongside parents to teach the Bible to babies and toddlers in an age-appropriate way, to help them learn memory verses, and to begin building in them a biblical vocabulary.

Foundations Room

In September we started using a new curriculum in Foundations that has been well-received by the kids as well as the teachers. The new curriculum (ABC Digital from Answers in Genesis) includes short video clips and PowerPoint presentations to accompany the lessons, which have been helpful supplements as we study God’s Word together every other week.

Along with the curriculum change in September, we implemented a small but important change to our Foundations Room schedule. The Foundations kids are now staying upstairs with their families at the beginning of church so they can participate in worship before heading downstairs together for class.

One other exciting note is that the Foundations class is sponsoring a child this year through the Wisconsin Foster Closet’s Christmas for Kids program. We get to pick out Christmas gifts from our sponsored child’s “wish list” to help brighten her Christmas, and we will also be giving her a Jesus Storybook Bible. God blesses us so we can bless others!
