  • A nursery is available during Sunday morning worship services as well as during the Sunday School hour.

    Bring your infant through 4 year-old child(ren) to room 213 and sign them in (and out) on the cart outside the classroom.


    Please note any allergies, toilet training info, or special needs using the stickers provided on the cart.



    Hints for a happy Nursery Experience

    1. Please be considerate of all children and do not bring your child if they have been running a fever in the last 24 hours.
    2. Leaving your child can sometimes be difficult for the child and the parent, so be sure to bring any comfort items your child may need. 
    3. Make sure that all items belonging to your child are labeled with their name, including bottles, wipes, pacifiers, diaper bag, etc.
    4. Always sign in your child and leave your contact information and make sure the childcare worker knows which diaper bag goes with your baby.
    5. Give written instructions for feedings, allergies, potty training, etc.
    6. Fill out a sticker name-tag for your child and place it on their back.
    7. Your baby may cry when you leave, but they will soon stop. Try to avoid having your child see you until you are ready to pick them  up.
