PARENTS – important safety procedure for children ages zero to second grade Every child age zero to second grade is required to wear a name tag for KFC and Bible class. Parents are required to have the corresponding tag. Please remember only parents (or older siblings with permission) are allowed to pick up and drop off children in this age group. Children are not allowed to leave class by themselves. Unlike Bible class teachers, different people volunteer for KFC and nursery each Sunday, making name tags necessary. Thank you for helping our volunteers keep your children safe! JAM Bowling Bonanza, Sunday, August 26, noon-2:00 p.m. Chaperones needed!
