The
Pond
Sunday
Mornings 9:00am and 10:45am
(ages 0-36
months)
Who is it for?The Pond is for children 0 to 36 months.
When is it offered?
It is offered during both the 9:00 and
10:45 services.
What curriculum is used?
We are using curriculum by reThink Group
called “First Look”. This curriculum covers three basic truths - God Made
Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus Wants to be My
Friend. We
are teaching one Bible
verse each month. The children hear, see, and say the Bible verse and begin
to both understand and memorize it. The Bible stories, and most of the
activities point toward the weekly focus. The children receive a monthly magnet as
well as a weekly parent resource called Small Talk.
What is the schedule be like?
The children start out in The Pond (the upstairs Nursery), where the leaders will interact and start
forming relationships with the children. They have free play
time and are
given a snack. Then the one and two-year-olds (or when they are ready to attend) go to “The Backyard” (the former youth room) for a high energy, large
group activity with other children ranging in age from
one year to kindergarten age. This includes fun interactive worship,
Bible verses, skits, Bible stories, puppets and more! After “The Backyard” they
return to The Pond for free play and dismissal.
How does it work?
Our nursery ministry is available for newborns -
36 months
during both of our morning services.
Our nursery utilizes a sign-in system as
well as vibrating pagers and "Toddler Tags" at the time of drop off.
This assures that your child is picked up by only you or your designee and
gives you the assurance that we are providing the safest possible
environment that we can. The vibrating pagers are to silently alert
parents during services if needed. All nursery volunteers are screened and
background checks are performed to ensure the safety of your children.
If you have
any questions regarding The Pond, or would like to
volunteer, please contact the church at
607-739-7168. Thank you!
