Protection Policy Class:
To help create as safe of an environment for
our children and youth as possible, we ask
each volunteer who will be working with those
under 18 years of age to fill out a Volunteer
Application and attend our volunteer Teaching
and Protection Policy Class. If you are helping
or wanting to help with the Children and Youth
Ministries:
ChildWatch, Nursery, Sunday
School Classrooms, Youth Group activities or
The YAK this fall; and you have not completed
this class, please plan to attend this Protection
Policy Class. The Protection Policy class will
be held on Sunday, November 2nd, 7:00 - 8:00
p.m. in Room #11. Please address all questions
to Laurie Buist ([email protected]).
We are grateful to have new workers in the
nursery! Now, we have a need for an adult
helper, who has already completed the
protection policy, in the 2 years old classroom!
Please contact Kristy Peter, 745-3870, Shelly
Titus or Sierra Dorman if you are interested.

Pastor David Dahms
“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and

Parents of children ages 10 and under:
Throughout the month of October the children's
ministry department has been phasing in a new
electronic child check-in system for all children
ages birth through age 10. The department
received the registrations of over 170 children
this fall. All families who have filled out a paper
registration/medical release form should now be
in LMBC's database. Please visit the child checkin area in Room #11 before each service to check
your children into their classes and print out
their name labels. This system is an upgrade
from the safety-pin tag method we currently use,
and will also list children's allergies and parents'
cell phone number on the name label in case they
must be reached quickly. This database is not
stored online or in a cloud. Thank you for your
patience as everyone learns this new technology.
For specific details, you can reach Laurie at 3546677 or [email protected].
Teachers:
Any Wednesday W.O.W. teachers or Sunday
morning teachers who would like an overview
and demonstration of how the new electronic
child check-in/attendance works may meet for
an information session with Laurie on
Wednesday night, October 29th, from 8:30 - 9:00
