Just a few words from Pastor Dan to bring you up to date about our children's ministry that happens on Sunday mornings.  A couple of months ago we announced that Christina Cantio was being released to be our new Children's Ministry Director and I am here to tell you now....She is off and running.

There is a new sense of enthusiasm among our kids and parents about this development and the results that are already showing.  This would be a good time for those of you who have been concerned about the spiritual education of your children to consider getting them involved.

Give me a call or talk to Christina about how your children might be involved and the long term benefits of educating children from a spiritual perspective.

Dear parents:

 We have all had the feeling that it is a new day here

 at Olympic View and I am happy to share a new and

exciting development.

 
We have brought to our staff, Christina Cantino, to serve as

our Children’s Ministry Director.  As you may know, she

has been one of our day care staff for the last several years

and it seemed just the right time to release her to serve the

church at large on a part time basis.

Christina will bring her early childhood skills and her

experience in children’s ministry to assist us in rebuilding

our kids programs.  She will provide assistance to those

who have faithfully served our kids for so many years and

together build a renewed program to benefit all of our kids.

I am hoping that you will be on hand Sunday at the 10:45

worship service as we commission Christina.  I know that

it would be a real encouragement to her to have you there.

Blessings,

Pastor Dan

Some of you have commented to me of how much you enjoy and gain from the integration of the church at large and the day care. I would say to you, "It is by design."

In my thinking there is an integration of the body, the mind and the spirit. That leads us as a church into making the day care more than an entity that occupies a part of the building during the week while the church goes about its "real business" on Sunday morning. That may be true elsewhere but it is not true here.

The day care is our ministry each and every day of the week. We seek to love kids as much on Monday as on Sunday and to impart as much of Christian value on one day as the next.

Some of the day care staff are a part of this body of believers and some are not but we are family together. Some of you may worship here and some may not but we are still family together as we "parent" your children in the finest sense of the word.

In that vain we seek to serve the whole family in ways physical, ways emotional and ways spiritual.

I would personally value your feedback as to how we can maximize service to your family. How do you need help? What can we do for your family that we are not doing now?

Face to face questions and answers are the best. I would be glad to meet with you and talk about it. Time may not permit but I am only a phone call away. My numbers are as follows: Home 253-927-7336, Church 253-927-9184 and Cell 253-677-2419. Of course you can reply on line if you like. However you choose I would love to hear from you.
