A NOTE FROM YOUR PASTORAL STAFF

With recent news events we would like to take this opportunity to reiterate and remind our church body of the safeguards we have in place regarding adults serving with children/students under 18. Any adult serving in any capacity with children/students under 18 is required to complete a Keeping Kids Safe form and a background check BEFORE they are allowed to serve. We make every effort for at least two adults to serve in childcare or events relating to children/students.

We also continue in our development of the Safety Ministry, striving to provide a safe, secure church campus during our times of worship and Bible study. If you are not currently part of the Safety Ministry and would like to serve in this way, please contact Pastor Gene. We still have need for volunteers to serve on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.

Practices begin Monday, February 27 and games begin Saturday, March 17. Coaches, assistant coaches and referees are needed! If you are interested please contact Sam Barnes by email or at 304-9797.

FAMILY MINISTRY INFORMATION

AWANA Announcements:

Our AWANA Grand Prix will be held on Saturday, April 21! We will work on the cars for the Grand Prix in the courtyard from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. on the following days: March 11, 18, and 25. On April 15 we will have the test track and the weigh station available from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Times and information about Race Day will be included in the car kits when you receive them.

Your child should have brought home a yellow bag and a letter about our mission project with Miracle Hill. Items may be brought in any time. When you bring your items in please make sure we know who the items are from so we can keep up with the weight for the contest between boys and girls. You may put your child's name on the bags or just put "boy" or "girl" on them. Turn all items in to your child's leaders.

Other Announcements:

Our next First Steps Class will be on Wednesday, March 7 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall (Superstars area). First Steps is for any child who has recently accepted Christ as Savior or who is asking questions about salvation. At least one parent is required to attend the class with their child. You may make reservations for the class by contacting Ginger Hall at 244-2975, ext. 111 or by email no later than Monday, March 5.

Our next Family Dedication Service will be on Sunday, March 11 during the morning worship service. Please register your family no later than Monday, March 5 by contacting Ginger Hall at 244-2975, ext. 111 or by email.

Camp Opportunities:

Children's Camp will be Tuesday, July 10 - Friday, July 13 at Ridgecrest, NC. Children's Camp is open for all children currently in 2nd - 5th grades. Total cost will not exceed $100 per child but may be less depending on the number of participants. A non-refundable $25 deposit is due no later than Sunday, March 25 to hold your spot at camp. Male and female chaperones are needed so if you are interested please contact Pastor Travis as soon as possible.

Deposits for both camps may be given to Pastor Travis. As always, if there is any financial need that would prevent a child from attending camp please contact Pastor Travis. We would never want a child to miss camp due to finances!

Preschool Needs: We need volunteers in our Preschool nursery to help care for babies 9 - 12 months old. If you can serve in a second hour class once every four weeks, please contact Amy Sweeney by email or by phone at 244-2975, ext. 120.

Needs for the Upcoming Babylon VBS: We want to create new drop-over costumes for the children prior to our June VBS. If you would be willing to help, please contact Amy Sweeney by email or by phone at 244-2975, ext. 120.

Non-returnable donations of plastic or silk greenery and flowers are also needed for the upcoming Babylon VBS. We are also collecting empty paper towel tubes for a VBS craft. These items can be left in the front office to the attention of Amy Sweeney.

PICTURES: You may notice in the Worship Guide each week and occasionally in the newsletter we run pictures of our ERBC families who are part of Family Ministries. If you would like your family picture to be used in the rotation or if you would like to submit an updated picture, we would love to have it! Simply email it to Pastor Travis.
