Creek Kids Promotion Sunday
August 8-9 | Registration Required
We’re on course for our initial reopening phase of Creek Kids ministry on Promotion Weekend, August 8-9, as follows:
Saturdays | 5:00p (Nursery to Kindergarten)
Sundays | 11:00a Worship Service only (Nursery to 5th Grade - No children’s programming during the 9:00a worship service)
One Service Sunday: We’re initially limiting children’s programming to the 11:00a service on Sundays, so we can safely establish our volunteer leader teams and refine the sanitization and changeover processes that will be required for our classrooms between services.
Reservations Required: For now, we’re asking families to register their children by Thursday at noon each week, so we know how to plan for the weekends. This will be an important step in making sure we can continue to move forward with our ministry.
Text creekkids to 77978 for weekly registration reminder.
LifeGroups: Online, At Home & On Campus
In a large population, creating a sense of community and connecting with others is important. In the church, it’s crucial. LifeGroups are small groups within the larger church in which people of similar interests take care of the “one another” in life. In a large church, it’s important that community exists in order for relationships to be real and relevant.
