CHILDCARE:
Church Drop Off
- Childcare at the church will be available from 5:00-7:30. Simply drop off your children on the way to your Community Group and pick them up after it’s done!
- Each group will have one administrative person to make a schedule and assign at least 2 people to be in charge of children. We suggest to not schedule both spouses the same night so that at least one is able to be a part of the discussion. If there are several kids, consider having a “big kids” group and a “little kids” group with the break age being kindergarten.
- Group members with children contributes $5-$10 a meeting to hire a babysitter. We have several high school and college students that would welcome this opportunity (many of whom are saving money for mission trips!). Suggestion: use the same students/childcare as much as possible because this will keep the headache of scheduling down and five the childcare workers a chance to really get to know the kids.
- Group members can arrange for their own childcare. We recommend this be a special occasion strategy rather than a weekly strategy as it simply isn’t ideal for new people interested in joing the group.
- It may work well at times to plan the large group gatherings around a family meal and a larger family discussion. This tends to work better when kids are still babies or above the kindergarten age (sorry toddler families).
We are so excited about this and can't wait to join you this fall!
