The SkyKids Children’s Ministry would like to extend an invitation to all parents in need of a night out.  On February 20, 2009, the first church-wide Kids’ Night Out will be held here at KCBT.  Your children, birth to 5th grade, will enjoy a themed evening (“Carnival!) that will include dinner and a rotation of activities.  The kids will love the magician, balloon-twisting class, interactive team games and a movie with snacks and popcorn while you and your spouse are out on the town!

Space is limited to the first 100 children.  Registration is required; sign-up on-line today! The cut-off date for registration is February 18.  The cost for each child is $3 and will be paid at the door.  Questions should be directed to Summer Montgomery at 816.358.0988 x 2016.

There are a still a few needs in Early Childhood. Interested in joining the team? You’ll find details about Nursery Classes (0-30 months) and Preschool Classes (2.5 - 5 years) on their webpages, including a breakdown of each class and corresponding openings in each age group. Prospective volunteers are asked to serve one service time, two Sundays a month. Signup online today! You’ll be contacted before beginning work in the minstry.

Working in the Early Childhood Department is more than child care - It is truly ministry to children and their families. It is Discipleship.

Infants hear songs about Jesus loving them and keep full attention on the face of the person singing. Toddlers learn to bow their heads and pray and say, “Amen.” Preschoolers retell Bible stories in their own beautiful language, surprising their families at their knowledge and application of the passage. Parents forge relationships with each other that last a lifetime. Leaders and teachers co-labor together, building relationships with each other that could not be formed any other place.

As we plan for September 14, we project a need for 100 dedicated servants to adequately staff our Nursery Department. Workers 18 and older are needed for one service time (9:45 or 11:15) two Sundays per month; you’ll still be able to attend the main service or a ministry fellowship at the opposite service time. Visit the department page for class descriptions and a list of current openings.

Contact Summer Montgomery for more information as you consider this unique calling.

As you invite new families to visit KCBT or see them on Sunday morning, please direct them to the Visitor Welcome Booth located under the large, green arrow that says, “Welcome Kids!”  Spanish translation is available every week.

If you are interested in serving new families and would like to work at the booth, please contact Summer Montgomery at 816.358.0988 x 2016.

This is also a wonderful opportunity to invite other mothers who may not attend our church.  The group meets the first and third Wednesday evenings of each month in room 203.  Childcare is provided for children birth to fifth grade.  A child care and refreshment rotation will be place.  Please contact Summer Montgomery with any questions.

There are many new areas for members to serve, including the Special Needs ministry and the new Visitor Welcome Booth.  The Elementary Department has implemented the Education Rotation Model, in which children are taught and ministered to through the areas of art, sports, science and movies.  The Early Childhood Department also has several openings for people that are willing to teach and nurture the littlest ones.  Volunteers that are bi-lingual are especially appreciated, as the ministry continues to reach out to families from other cultures.

Volunteer Orientations are held the fourth Sunday of every month in Room107 from 9:15 to 10:00 am.  Please contact Summer Montgomery or Donivan Best with any questions.
