Seeds of Promise

Planting the promises of God in little kids’ hearts.

Hey Moms! Here’s just one more reason why you should sign-up for Tuesday Morning Women’s Bible Study this semester. Our Tuesday Morning childcare program is getting a makeover. That’s because we’re no longer just childcare! We are now called Seeds of Promise and are a part of Crossing Kids. Our new ministry’s mission is to plant the promises of God in little kids’ hearts in a fun, engaging, and relevant way. While you study God’s Word and connect with other women on Tuesday mornings, our hope is that your kids will grow in their faith and have a blast at the same time!

Rachel Tiemeyer, the former Children’s Ministry Director and a stay-at-home mom, is the new Seeds of Promise Coordinator. Not only will she be organizing and overseeing this program, but she will be present in the Early Childhood wing every Tuesday morning. Here are some of the goals that Rachel and her team are excited to implement this semester:

1) Bible Lessons that Connect with Sunday Morning Teaching
Kids will learn about God’s faithful promises in the New and Old Testament through a fun, age-appropriate large group lesson, high-energy songs, and hands-on games and crafts each week. Our lessons will also connect with and reinforce what your child is already learning on Sunday mornings (9 a.m. class).

2) Consistency with the Sunday Morning Routine
We will maintain a morning routine that is similar to what kids experience at Crossing Kids on Sundays. Your kids can expect free play, circle time, a lesson similar to theirs on Sundays, songs, snack, playground time or large group room time and lots more.

3) Leadership in the Classroom
Each classroom will have a team leader (a mom or older, experienced adult) whom your child can be assured will be in his/her classroom each week. The team leader will provide direction to the other sitters in the room, be a consistent presence in the classroom, and make sure the class stays on their routine.

4) Plenty of Experienced Sitters
We will have more-than-enough experienced sitters in each classroom each week, so that you can be assured that your child is getting the proper care and attention he/she needs.

As always, our goal is safety in the classroom. All of our sitters must go through an extensive, nation-wide background check, an application process, and attend our training session. In addition, we will continue to enforce our registration system for dropping off and picking up children.
