      Brittany is a team member, serving up to three times every week since June of 2011!  Brittany usually serves in Babies, but is always open to fill in wherever we may need her! Brittany is a true team player and she works to ensure everyone on her team feels welcome and comfortable. She is a huge help in all of the rooms and is always willing to go above and beyond for the team, the children and families. She is a great example of a dedicated volunteer.  Thank you Brittany, the best is yet to come!

      God designed His church as a people who get faith, inspiration, spiritual and emotional fuel from one another.  The weekend re-fuels our hearts, hope and our families.   THANK YOU for your dedication to God’s little ones. YOU are more than you know.

      Early Childhood Volunteer Summer Party – June 11,2015   

       We had TONS of FUN and LOADS of delightful homemade appetizers and desserts at our summer party last Thursday.  Five team members received prizes for their delicious dishes and we had the opportunity to relax and have fun together.  THANK YOU!  We are so grateful for everyone helping make this our BEST EVENT EVER!  See more pictures from last Thursday’s party at the end of this post.

      We are quickly approaching Father’s Day!  This is always an EXCITING time of year at Parkview and one of our biggest outreach weekends.  We’ll have many NEW visitors and it’s important we all remember we don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.  So let’s go over a few details…

      We will go back to five services for this weekend only.  (Saturday 3:45pm & 5:30pm, Sunday 9:00am, 11:00am, 5:30pm)

      PLEASE remember we need you to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of service for our team huddles AND so we are equipped to accept other volunteers’ children extra early so they can get to their team huddle.

      Let’s Celebrate!  Meet Volunteer of the Week…Tina Reay!

      Tina Reay

      Tina is a Team Leader in the backyard.  She has been subbing in on Sunday mornings at the 9am or 11am service for the past three years!  She is always willing to help whenever needed.  Tina has a keen eye and ensures the little ones are always in a safe and fun environment.   Tina is dedicated, patient, joyful and leads by example.  She is a great leader!   Thank you, Tina, the best is yet to come.

       

      Every two weeks we are looking at which children had a birthday and who needs to graduate to the next age-appropriate classroom.  Here’s a quick read on how we can make the transition easier for God’s little ones.  Leaders are readers, check it out! …  http://leadsmall.org/preschool/moving-up/

      Below you’ll find more pictures from our party last Thursday.

      Thanks EVERYONE for being the best team ever.  YOU are loved!

      KID_EC_MemoryVerse_MayJune2015_36x24May 2015 Memory Verse Motions - Blog

       

      The Happy Helpers Club is back! And, it’s better than ever. This is one of our FAVORITE themes to do with preschoolers. At a young age, children start saying, “I help,” and it’s our responsibility to teach them how to help. God wants them to help others, to think of others before themselves, so let’s make sure they know how to do it!

      This month we’ll hear how Ruth helped Naomi by staying with her when she could have returned to her hometown. Then, Boaz helped them both by making sure they had enough to eat and were cared for (May Weeks 2 and 3). We can help others by being with them in a time of crisis and making sure they have what they need. Preschoolers will learn about Nehemiah and how he led an entire city to rebuild their wall (May Weeks 4 and 5). We can help others by leading them to accomplish a task. Then, they’ll experience the story of the woman who built a room for Elisha so that he had somewhere to rest when he was in town (June Weeks 1 and 2). We can help others by providing them hospitality. Finally, preschoolers will hear how Aaron and his friends helped Moses by physically holding up his arms to help the army win an important battle (June Weeks 3 and 4). We can help others by physically helping them do something as well as standing by them during a hard time.

      The Monthly Memory verse is “Be Kind and Loving to Each Other” Ephesians 4:32, NCV

      The Bottom Line is I Can Help Others.

      May Weeks 2 and 3 – May 9th/10th and 16th/17th

      May Weeks 4 and 5 – May 23rd/24th and 30th/31st

    • One day left, Parents + Volunteer of the Week…

      Posted at 11:34 am by Stephanie McDonald
      Jun 10th

        Let’s Celebrate!  Meet Volunteer of the Week…Matthew DeYoung!

      Matthew

       Matthew is a Team Member in Ones B every Sunday at 11:00am.  He is still fairly new, beginning to serve just this past March! Matthew jumped right in and even earned the nickname “ The Baby Whisperer” on his very first day in Ones! Matthew shows up ready to serve with a bright smile and positive attitude! He connects with his whole team and does an outstanding job with all of the kids!   He is a great example of a dedicated team member.  Thank you Matthew, the best is yet to come!

      Our Early Childhood Volunteer party is TOMORROW, Thursday, June 11th 6:00pm – 8:00pm.  Click here for details and please RSVP online thanks!  click here 

      I just read an article by Reggie Joiner from The reThink Group called “Make Sunday Work For Parents-Leveraging Sunday to help families the rest of the week”.  A great a question he asked is, how can we make our weekend services work for parents?  They need our inspiration!

      Parents are sometimes frustrated, tired, worried, hoping, some are alone, struggling, hurting and determined.  Let’s give parents hope and direction!  Speak words of encouragement and tell parents something good that stood out about their child.

      Another great question we can ask parents…”Is there anything new we should know about your child–struggles, needs, milestones, accomplishments, etc.

      This week, let’s be intentional and focus on spending extra time with parents.

      God designed His church as a people who get faith, inspiration, spiritual and emotional fuel from one another.  The weekend re-fuels our hearts, hope and our families.   We all need to keep our faith alive every day of the week. So let’s make our weekend services and the time we serve work for everyone.

      THANK YOU for your dedication to God’s little ones and the Parkview families. YOU are more than you know.  See you soon!

      BIG hugs and much love,

      Paul Kroll

      Let’s Celebrate!

      Meet Volunteer of the Week…Paul Kroll!  Paul is a Backyard Team Member and has been serving in Early Childhood for almost one year.   He is dedicated to leading our 4 year olds every Sunday at 11:00am. He also fills in at other services when needed and goes above and beyond!  Paul has a huge heart for the children and leads them with patience and kindness and sets a great example for team members. Thank you, Paul, the best is yet to come!

       

      Let’s Connect, the countdown begins!  Our Early Childhood Volunteer Summer Party is in ONE WEEK!  Thursday, June 11th 6:00pm – 8:00pm.  Click here for details and please RSVP online thanks!  click here 

      Let’s Contribute!

      belong to you . . .
      You belong to me.

      “Beyond lyrics to a Lumineers song, these two statements can sum up a great relationship within your small group. We understand the fact that everyone needs a place to belong; a group where they are known and welcome. There is something powerful in the sense of belonging. What cements this relationship for your little ones is that they know “why” they belong. The reason has to be more than they belong because they are two years old. Or, they belong because they are sitting at table number two or on the green rug. Preschoolers will grasp early that they belong because you love them for who they are — not where they are in a class chart. They belong because you know them and you are glad that they are there!”  from leadsmall.org

      THANK YOU for being a part of what God is doing at Parkview.  I look forward to seeing YOU soon!

      BIG hugs and much love,

      Jill Shea
