NURSERY
DUTIES
1.
THANK
YOU for volunteering to help!
2.
Please
arrive at church at least 15 minutes before second service. Many of the nursery children have attended
Sunday School so are there early and need a place to play without disrupting
other members of our church arriving to worship upstairs.
3.
Nursery
is for children 0-5 years of age. If
you have an older child, they can serve as your helper on days you are the
nursery volunteer.
4.
Once
all children arrive, please keep the downstairs door closed. This keeps the kids and the sounds from
traveling upstairs.
5.
Try
not to call a parent from the service unless absolutely necessary. Most children calm down after a short
while. Try distracting them with a toy
or game. Also, sitting quietly with the
child or reading them a story may help.
6.
Do
not allow a child to go upstairs alone to join their parents. There would be no way to know if they made
it or not. It’s also distracting for
other worshippers.
7.
We
have the top shelf of the cabinets above the stove downstairs for snacks for
the nursery. The children, especially
those who were at Sunday School, seem to be very hungry during nursery
time. Currently, there is not a
specific church fund for supplying the snacks.
If you could bring in a box of crackers, a few apples or other healthy
snack for the children it would be appreciated. The children interact better, play better and listen better when
they are not really hungry. Please go
to our shelf if you forget a snack or have leftovers you can leave for another
day.
8.
The
church toys are all inside the closeable shelves. Please, open it up when you first arrive and be sure all toys go
back inside, then close it after nursery.
9.
Please
set any soiled or broken toys aside and let Shawn Young, 231-439-9237, know so
that they can be cleaned, repaired or thrown away.
10.
Keep
smiling and have fun with some of God’s greatest gifts.
