Children's Rooms Preview...

Here is a preview of what you will see on Sunday if you are dropping off a child in one of the three rooms on the children's hall...or if you just poke your head in out of curiosity!

We have gotten a tremendous amount of work done this week thanks to the leadership of Sara Dungan and Ami Ross and the MANY helping hands that came out to help! Thanks to each of you for the amazing difference you made!

There is still much to be done and many details to attend to so please make yourself available if you can next week! Give Sara a call 914-8024 to find out how you can help!!

Also, thanks to Lehman Alley and his CitruSolution Carpet Cleaning business for blessing us with clean carpets!!

Paint Party!

Thank you to everyone who has come out to help put a little color on the walls of our children's rooms! We have gotten the base coat finished in all three rooms and are now working on fixtures, touch ups, and the fun part...murals and artistic accents!! If you want to help, it's not too late! Give Sara a call 871-4425 to see what you can do!!

The Allen's were busy working on cabinets while baby Jude devoured a Little Ceasar's pizza and admired his parents prowess with a paint brush from his high chair.

Shades Valley Parents,

The Children’s Ministry Team has met 4 times in 3 months and we have some exciting developments to share with you! After 2 meetings of gathering feedback and casting vision, the team began crafting a rhythm for children’s ministry and researching new possibilities for curriculum. Area churches were contacted, curriculum specialists were consulted and samples were reviewed in an effort to identify a curriculum that would meet our needs as a church and energize our children.
After much thought and prayer, the Children’s Ministry Team chose FaithWeaver by Group. The content and expense of Faithweaver was presented to SLT on June 10 and was unanimously approved! The curriculum has now been purchased and is on the way! Here are a few of the reasons the Children’s Ministry Team is excited about Faithweaver:

· Every child from 2 years old-6th grade will be learning about the same Bible story and
“Key point” each week
· FaithWeaver will take our children through the entire Bible in 3 years
· FaithWeaver makes it easy to communicate with our parents and congregation as a
whole regarding what our children are learning
· FaithWeaver is teacher-friendly.

In addition to the new curriculum, we are planning some colorful improvements in the classrooms and have some fun activities on the calendar for the fall. Please make a note of the following dates and consider getting yourself and your children involved in SVCC Children’s Ministry!
