Encounter KIDS JANUARY 2024
Volunteer Newsletter
Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2024! As we begin a new year, I pray that you cling to the Lord in all circumstances, remembering that He already knows what this year holds for you, and He will walk with you through the valleys and rejoice with you on the mountaintops!
I am excited to teach alongside you using our new curriculum! Hopefully you were able to read a bit about it in last month's newsletter. We were able to use it during December, and this month kicks off the remainder of the 2023-2024 program.
I will talk more about this on our Training Session on Saturday, January 13th at 10am.

HELP! We Need More Volunteers!
Some of the best ways to get new volunteers is by referrals from current Children's Ministry volunteers. And this is where you come in! We have had several volunteers leave the Ministry for personal reasons in the past few months, so I am asking for your help in finding some new faces to love on and teach children about Jesus. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!
Our immediate needs:
Nursery Helper for the 4th Sunday
TWO helpers for 5th Sundays (our next one is in March).
Assistant for 4th/5th classroom
Teacher for K-3rd classroom
Junior Helper for K-3rd classroom
