MSJC Children's Ministry Conduct Guidelines: Parents, Please go over these with your child(ren).
1. Children are to be obedient and respectful toward the adult(s) leading Children's Ministry. This includes listening and participating in the program.
2. If children are not behaving properly, they will be brought back to their parents. At the end of the prayer meeting it would be appropriate for the child to apologize for his/her behavior.
3. Children are to be respectful toward other children. This means no hitting, pushing, unkind words, etc. They also need to respect the property of others.
4. Children may not leave the Children's Ministry room unless they have permission from the adult in charge. For safety purposes, when playing outside children must stay in designated play area.
5. Toddler Room: For health reasons, parents will be called if a child has a soiled diaper. There is a baby changing station in both men's and women's bathrooms. Diapers are not to be changed in the toddler room.
MSJC Community Meetings: The next community meeting is scheduled for Nov. 6th from 6:30pm - 9:30pm at the Milpitas Library Community Room. Agenda items to follow later this month.
Prayers/Prayer Line Info: If you have a prayer request that you would like to get on the Prayer Line, you can contact Slyvia Lobo.
