KIDZONE UPDATE - By Jennifer Smith

Fall Happenings - It's been a wonderful fall in the children's department at LLCF. We began the school year with fresh curriculum and a new class arrangement, with a boy/girl split for the 1st through 5th graders and of course we've been busy working with Mrs. Drewer on Christmas music! We can't wait to share what we've been preparing for you! Gayle Crabtree and Ashley Baer have also kicked off the Middle School class, which meets following the music segment of worship for a Bible-based discussion group. E are so thrilled to welcome Ashley as a teacher and are grateful that God prompted her to serve in this way.

Coming in January - We hope that you've heard about the upcoming changes that will occur in January. We are so excited to be bringing back the Sunday School hour at LLCF, a focused education hour prior to the worship service which will offer the opportunity for all ages to meet for learning and fellowship. During the regular worship service children will remain wit their families for the initial praise and worship time (as we've been doing) and then will have the option to attend a supervised activity time. We hope to add some fun board games, books, and group activities to our supply cabinets for this purpose. We will also be providing coloring pages and activity sheets for older children and for those families who choose to have their kids remain in church. Stay tuned for more details!!

How can you help? - As January approaches, we will be lining up volunteers to help monitor the activity room(s). If you would be available to help on a rotating basis, please contact me or Gayle Crabtree. We are also always eager to hear from anyone with a heart to serve in children's ministries. There are so many creative ways you can use your gifts to bless and educate the children God has entrusted to our congregation! Is God prompting you to serve in this area? We would love to hear from you!
