Children’s Sunday School Kickoff & Promotion Sunday is September 11

School Year Sunday School Kickoff and Promotion Sunday is September 11. Parents, children, Sunday School teachers, and friends, please join us at 10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall to hear what is new and ongoing for our Children’s Sunday School classes for this academic year. The Children’s Sunday School serves children in grades kindergarten through 5th. Hope to see you there!

On Promotion Sunday all children and youth move up to their next grade level and fall Sunday School begins. Second and third graders will also receive Bibles in the worship services as they transition from Children’s Worship to worship in the sanctuary. And, we will also welcome our four year-olds to participate in the Children’s Blessing for the first time during the worship services that day.

It takes 22 volunteers…

Did you know that it takes 22 volunteers every Sunday to run Blacknall's Nursery and Children's Ministry? The Nursery at Blacknall is facing an extreme shortage of volunteers on Sunday morning. Last Sunday, the Nursery did not have a single volunteer for the 11 a.m. service. The Nursery is asking the congregation to consider volunteering on a trial basis. Come and see what it is like to serve some of our most adorable Blacknallites. If you decide it's not for you, there's no pressure to continue (we promise!). The Nursery is an important ministry to the children and parents at Blacknall, but it also affects our ability to extend hospitality to our visitors. If you are interested, please contact Leslie Petree.
