Who you are as a volunteer?
Tips and strategies for classroom control.

It is important for all volunteer to make every effort to attend training.  This is an opportunity to connect together,
build our ministry team, and learn from each other so that we can ensure every child has an excellent
experience in class while building their relationship with Jesus.


SNACK ATTACK
Thank you all for partnering with the Children's Ministries to make our
Snack Attack service project such a great success!
We collected 722 individually-wrapped snacks for The Good News Club.

because of everyone's participation.
