KIDS' BAGS

CHUM Education Committee voted in October to discontinue Children's Church as we reevaluate the program.

Throughout the coming weeks, Kid's Bags will be handed out after the Children's Message.

Dor December, the Kids will receive Advent Packets - but the bags will not be ready until January.

The bags will contain colored pencils, crayons, a clipboard, coloring pages and/or puzzles for the kids.

And .... a small food treat (gummy snacks, etc.)

There will be two sets of bags: Reader's Bags and Non-Reader's Bags.

The Non-Readers will contain mostly biblical coloring pages & the Reader's Bags will contain biblical coloring pages and word games.

THE NURSERY FOR INFANTS FOR FIVE YEAR-OLDS WILL STAY THE SAME

The kids from F.R.O.G. will help decorate both sets of bags.  If anyone would like to donate supplies, it would be very much appreciated!

Items needed are: clip boards, colored pencils, small boxes of crayons and any religious coloring book or puzzle book, and treats (Veggie Tales Gummy Treats at Giant Eagle are very good)

We know this is new, but we think it will be a good thing.

We appreciate your help.  Thank You
