Ministering to Preschoolers and Children in Challenging Times Webinar

July 28, 2020 * 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

As churches begin to reopen their preschool and children’s ministries, what will nursery, Sunday School, children’s worship and other programs look like in the days to come? Patty Burns and Belinda Stroud, state missionaries for preschool and children’s ministries, will be leading a discussion about the “new normal” in this area. We will discuss children’s ministry in a socially distanced world, how to provide a clean and safe environment for children and preschoolers, ways to involve children in your worship service, and many other great ideas on how your church can minister to and disciple children, preschoolers, and their families. Join us for this conversation! Click the link below to register.
