This month in TFHkids
August 2010
jumpstart (birth-Kindergarten) This month we are learning that "God is always with me." Creative Bible stories and a loving, irresistible environment will be the tools to helping each child learn that “God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9, NLT

powerUp (Grades 1-5) In August the PowerUp theatre will be transformed into the Wild West as we focus on the value of "Peace—proving that you care more about others than winning an argument." Our memory verse for the month is “So let us do all we can to live in peace. And let us work hard to build each other up.” Romans 14:19, NIrV

Jumpstart [nursery - Kindergarten] is an irresistible, safe, clean & kid-friendly environment. This is where kids get a "first look" at Jesus while engaging in creative play, music, interactive Bible stories, fun crafts, & lots of tender-loving care!

Nursery [birth to 1 year]

PowerUP [1st - 5th grade] is an exciting, fun, action packed place created completely with kids in mind! We dig into God's Word using awesome & relevant music, zany characters, cool multi-media & then connect with each other in our rKids small groups.and who can resist the giant inflatable & video games!

Garden Spot is designed to serve families & kids with special needs. Our desire is to connect each special needs kid with a "buddy" who can focus1 on 1 with them & support their family. Each kid is accompanied by their "buddy" & encouraged to experience the program (jumpstart/powerUp) that is most appropriate for their needs. SAFETY TFHKids a place where kids are protected & cared for by loving volunteers who are trained to create an environment where parents can freely & confidently leave kids; a place where kids feel happy to participate in all program activities with other kids & leaders. During service the TFHkids Wing is kept safe by TFH kids staff & our Security Team "owning" & monitoring the hallway & program areas.

CHECK IN / DISMISSAL Each family can check in their kids at one of two Registration desks prior to service. Each parent & kid receives a wristband or nametag with a unique matching pager number. Parents should present their wristband or nametag when picking kids up from their classroom or program area.

PAGER SYSTEM is in place that serves all of TFHkids Ministry. This system is designed to enable teachers to reach parents in the event that their kid has a specific need. A pager number display is located on either side of the adult theatre stage, and in the event that their kid has a need, their corresponding pager number will be displayed.
