Hello Parents, For those of you who help out in Children's Ministry at CCAC, we have a Volunteers Appreciation Event coming up! We are blessed to have so many people serving in all the different areas of Children's Ministry at CCAC, this is just a small thank-you for the dedication volunteers have given to the kids! 😊 Volunteers from Awana and Sunday programs are invited to the BBQ dinner.  Families of volunteers are welcome to join, but there is no childcare available. Bring a friend! Invite someone who has been supporting you in prayer, encouragement, or behind-the-scenes work as you served in ministry.  Or invite a friend whom you think might be interested in serving with Children's Ministry!  Take this opportunity to thank your supporters and share your experiences with others. There will also be a BeaverTails food truck at the event for a special treat just for the volunteers!  So come join us for food and fellowship! TIME :  Sunday May 27, 2018 @ 5:00pm

Growing closer to Jesus goes beyond the classroom and church. All our Sunday School lessons include a take-home component, these handouts are given to the kids or parents at the end of class when they are picked up.  It is encouraged that parents, along with their kids, use the handout to plan meaningful activities during the week to review and talk about the topics the kids are learning at Sunday School.  It is a good resource for families to develop faith at home. Parents, if you did not get the Take-Home Sheets from the Sunday School teacher, or your child made it into a paper airplane and lost it, no worries! Take-Home Sheets for May and June are available for families to view and download here: Elementary Sunday School Take-Home Sheets If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a comment here!
