We will be celebrating the end of the 2022-2023 school year with the Children's ministry and the youth group on May 31, 2023! Please come and join us in the parking lot with your wheels (no motorized wheels please). We will have Tikiz Shaved ice and Ice cream here to help us keep cool while winding around the "track." This event is for the entire congregation! Dinner will ne served alongside the sno cones! Please text "summer" to 281-800-9336 to let us know your family is joining the fun!

We are excited to be able to offer a camp for our elementary kids this summer! New Beginnings Camp offers a week long camp for kids that have completed Kindergarten through the 5th grade. Please take a moment and see all that happens at New Beginnings Camp and save the date! Use the link below to register or for more information about the camp itself. The camp fee for each camper is $300 which includes all things camp related such as meals at camp, t-shirts, lodging, crafts etc. When you register, please be sure to note that you are a part of Kingwood Church of Christ. If you feel that you can be a volunteer/counselor for this week of camp, please email me at Carmen@kwcoc.org or text at 832-527-7106. We will have a parent meeting for those attending camp in April to finalize details of transportation, items to bring/pack and answer any questions. If you are willing to sponsor a child at camp or would like to be a volunteer/camp counselor for camp, please contact Carmen.

VBS 2023 planning is well underway! It is time to sign up to be a volunteer to help our VBS be the most successful. Our goal this year is to have 150 kids from preschool to 5th grade as well as adding in a family element with a class for parents and adults. This year, we plan to serve dinner to all, participants and volunteers each night with a family meal night on Wednesday, July 12. Childcare will be provided to any volunteers that have children under the age of 3. We will need a variety of volunteers, if you don't see an area on the sign up form that fits your strengths, please contact Carmen Bertrand at 832-527-7106 and let's talk about how you can help! There are many ways to volunteer, you don't want to miss this opportunity!

If you are volunteering in any capacity with the children's ministry or the youth ministry, per the KWCOC Child protection policy you will need to complete the following three items prior to being a volunteer: (this applies to all volunteers 15 and up)

1.) Volunteer Application (click here) - only completed once

2.) Complete the Child protection policy training and test (click here) completed once unless you get notice that it has been updated

3.) Complete a Background check (click here) - this is to be completed every two years

If you need help with any of these items or prefer to enter the background information directly into the CIA system yourself, please see me May 21 right after Sunday service. I will be in the FLC with a computer to get these items completed.

Once again, this policy applies to everyone 15 and up that wishes to volunteer in the Children's ministry or the youth ministry (ie. VBS, teaching classes, CM/YM events, camps chaperones, taco Tuesday, providing childcare at KWCOC, etc.)

Contact Carmen with any questions or concerns.

The Children's ministry is not successful without our wonderful volunteers! We love and appreciate each person that dedicates some time to our precious children!

Summer is coming and it is a great time to get involved in the children's ministry. We are almost all filled up for teaching classes this summer! Please take a moment and check your calendars to see what you can help with in our classes. We are in need of Preschool assistance and grades 3-5 assistance throughout the summer. (See above graphic for details)
