Kids' Zone Open House and Dedication

At NHC we're always looking for a reason to celebrate! After all, we're practicing for an eternal celebration in heaven.

The newly completed Kids' Zone in the upstairs south wing of our building is a major cause for celebration. Not just another goal accomplished, it allows us to better serve families in the church and in the community. And it looks great!

Thanks to those who volunteered the past couple of weeks getting the last touches done, we're ready to open it up to the community for a walk-through and to formally dedicate it to God's glory.

The party starts at 3PM with a short dedication gathering. Our town mayor will be on hand to say a few words. It promises to be a fun time with a surprise or two you don't want to miss.

Please feel free to invite your neighbors and friends, especially if they have young children in the home. We hope they'll see that NHC cares about them.

Kids' Zone Cleaned Up

The young moms' Connection group got together during their weekly meeting last night and cleaned up the Kids' Zone! They swiffered the walls, vacuumed, cleaned windows, moved stuff, hauled trash, and mopped floors. The place looks fantastic!! What a great idea for a Connection group to get together and do some ministry together. They stuck to ministry rule #1 - "Never do ministry alone."

Here are some pictures from the fun they had cleaning up and getting the space ready for children to learn about a relationship with God through Jesus Christ:

The September edition of the Parentlink Newsletter

It can be found at www.jrwaveriders.com . This month’s topic is developing Christ-centered self-esteem. The newsletters are found under the Parents tab along with other parenting resource links.

If you are the parent of one of a pre-school through elementary school child, you'll want to bookmark our Parentlink Newsletter. It's one more way NHC teaches and reaches into homes. Feel free to share with others as well.

Kids Zone Painting this Week!!!

After a great turnout Saturday to get the walls primed they are now being painted. It would be awesome to get it all painted before Sunday.

IF you know your way around with a roller and brush (and that's an all caps IF - not everybody can paint) come on down and lend a hand. There's minimal cutting in to do (no doors or baseboard yet) and only one small ceiling to paint in the bathroom.

Just call Andy and let him know you're coming. The walls are color-labeled with post-it notes and the paint is ready to roll.

Let's go!

Kids' Zone Check-In

To improve our security and attendance tracking we are launching our new check-in system tomorrow.  All NHC guests will still go to the big blue kiosk to check in their children, infant through 5th grade.  All of NHC's regular attenders and members will go to the self check in kiosk located on the west wall at the south end of the big lobby.  A very simple procedure:

1.  On the touch screen you will type the last 4 digits of your phone number

2.  Select the child or children you are checking in

3.  Select "Check In"

4.  Take the name tag and place it on the front of your child (back if nursery)

5.  Keep your parent security tag to use after the gathering to pick up your child

6.  Nursery parents will use the same system but there will be an extra sticker printed out for diaper bags, etc.

A Kids' Zone staff member will be at the kiosk the next couple of weeks to help walk you through this transition.  All children, regular attenders and guests, will now have name tags which helps the Kids' Zone team.   Kids' Zone staff will point parents back to the kiosk tomorrow AM to check their children in should they forget to stop by.

See you at church!
