{Partnering with Parents} Baby Steps

Many Preschool Ministry Volunteers may be hearing about Baby Dedication at New Life Fellowship. But you may not know how Baby Dedication connects to you as a Preschool Ministry Small Group Leader, Nursery caretaker, or Greeter.

Baby Dedication is actually one of the first and best places to connect with parents and families at New Life Fellowship. If they haven't already been in one of our environments yet (Nursery, Giraffe's or Elephant Rooms) they will be after this class! What an opportunity for you as a New Life Kids Volunteer (YELLOW) to reach out and connect with the parents (RED) of kids who are or will be in your classroom one day. This simple action of introducing your self, talking about what fun things we do and teach at New Life Kids can have long term impact on this family and their sweet little one (ORANGE)!

How to Prepare for your Small Group

It doesn't take much to get ready for your small group during the week.  Just a few minutes 2-3 days out of your week and you'll be super ready to make this Sunday The Best Hour of Every Kids Week!

Here's what we suggest:

{Host Team} What You Missed!

If you missed our Fall Kickoff Meeting on Friday (8/31) we are going to try to fill you in with what you missed.

We've clarified roles and responsibilities and shared about the vision for our ministry this school year. Below you will find the Greeter Roles and Responsibilities document as well as a summary of some things Angella and Kelly spoke about in their breakout session for Greeters.

If you have any questions and to find out what else you missed be sure to touch base with Angella and Kelly before your date of service.

We are so glad you are on the New Life Kids Team and we look forward to a great school year!

Here are some pics from our Meeting:

{Preschool} March Song "Jesus Loves Us"

Hi Toddler & Preschool Leaders!

We put together an instructional video to help you learn the motions and words to the song of the month. Enjoy!

{Preschool} March- "Everybody!"

We are continuing our theme of love into March with the Bottom Line “Jesus loves everyone.” He does. He loves us even when we feel like nobody else does as He shows the woman at the well. He loves us even when we’ve made some very poor choices like Zacchaeus. Jesus loves us. Wow! Think about how the little hearts of our preschoolers can be impacted by that information. Even when we mess up, He still loves us. And, Zacchaeus shows us that accepting His love can transform us.

Later in the month, we will introduce the idea that because Jesus loves us, we should spread His love through the story of the Good Samaritan. This is a favorite story among the preschool set (because of the Band-Aids I think), and such a great lesson for them. The love of Jesus needs to be shared. Our final week encourages them to go and tell others about Jesus’ great love. What an amazing month!
