Our Coastline kids get so excited at their birthday. Not only do they get a party & presents at home but many parents have mentioned that their 5 year old talks non stop about moving up into Lil Rippers!
When a child moves up into "the big kid class" they get a really cool moving up gift that has a t-shirt, cd, info letters, and some toys!
Experience ADVENTURE In serving
a. Experience fulfillment & growth through serving. ::Find Purpose :: Legacy
The first couple weeks can be scary or overwhelming but as leaders in any class it's our job to help the kids feel welcome and meet new friends. Match up two kids and ask them to sit together or to show their new friend things around their cool new room! A little attention goes along way.
Logan Benton just moved up into little Rippers in March when he turned 6 years old. He was an outstanding kid in Treehouse- helping the younger 4 & 5's but now he's a little fish in a big pond and he can't get enough of it! Mom says it's so different waking him up for school vs. waking him up for church!
You are making church FUN and EXCITING for kids of all ages! Thank you for your efforts in being yourself and a little goofy to make kids feel at home in God's house! It wouldn't be the same with out you! You are creating a legacy through FLM!
::Moving On::
Let me take another moment to share what a great job Susan Zipperer did while I was away on maternity leave! Things kept going without a hitch thanks to her leadership and your dedication to FLM. So great to know that I work with such a valuable team that the wheels keep turning without me. Thank you Susan and everyone else for supporting Ben and I during my time off to be with little Piper!
I'm officially back, working Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays. Please resume contacting me with any Early Childhood things. You'll see Susan around as she resume volunteering with the Lil Rippers. I know those kids missed her too!
Here's Susan with her Thank you flowers from the team!
… & incase you haven't met our baby, Piper Emmalene Kingdon, here's a blog post of her from Lil Rippers volunteer Angel Gray from AngelGrayphotography.com
