Your Staff and Elder Board have developed a plan for Children’s Church which we hope will serve our children's needs into the future.  As promised last month, we gathered information from various people in Cornerstone -- including parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and other lay leaders. This input was then incorporated into the plan outlined below. Our hope and prayer is that this plan will provide greater opportunity for all of our Cornerstone family to learn the importance – and the joy – of participating in Corporate worship of our God.
    The 1st Sunday of every month, Communion Sunday, will be devoted to family worship. There will be no Children’s Church during this worship (1st hour).  Parents, take the opportunity to explain the significance of Communion to your children.
    Children’s Church will continue to be held during worship the remaining Sundays of each month for Kindergarten through 5th grades. Parents and guardians of 4th and 5th graders are urged to consider helping their children transition to worshipping with the rest of the Cornerstone body by having them remain with the rest of the family during the 1st hour worship service.
    Anne Parker and her teaching teams began using a Precept curriculum when Children's Church kicked off on Sunday, September 21st.
    All other Children’s Ministry activities on Sunday mornings will remain intact.  In the meantime, your Elder Board and Staff will continue to develop short and long-term goals for all ministry areas.  One other related item that your Elders and Staff are praying about and considering is how to better teach and equip our Congregation to raise Godly children and youth.  Your Elders and Staff ask that you join us in prayer, and please share your thoughts and ideas with us.

Anne Parker, Director of Children's Ministries, and your Elder Board
