PRAYERMEETING
WEDNESDAY WEATHER WATCH
In the event of inclement weather we may cancel Wednesday night prayer meeting and fellowship meal Be sure to check Facebook and your email for any of these updates.
BUECHNER SERIES
We now have two regularly attending babies in the nursery and more preschoolers and elementary kids regularly attending. This means we need a few more loving arms to rock babies and care for kids. I need 2 more folks willing to work in childcare at 9:30 once a month. Childcare at 9:30 is a multi-age class (infant through elementary age) The children simply play (no prep work required.) I also need nursery help during the 10:30/worship hour I could use 3 or 4 folks at 10:30 once a month willing to hold, rock, and care for our tiniest regular attenders. Again, no planning a lesson or prep work required If you could help in either room, please let Andrea know at andrea@chbcky.org.
