EGYPT GET AWAY DAYS SUNDAYS JULY 11-AUGUST 8
Are you ready to walk like an Egyptian? Talk like an Egyptian? Eat like an Egyptian? Even dress like one? Then you will want to join us on Sundays in the KIDMO room for our EGYPTIAN GET AWAY SUNDAYS! Kids will step out of WV and into Egypt for a little while.
Each Sunday beginning July 11 and running thru August 8, your kids will sing songs about the ONE TRUE GOD and learn all about Joseph. We will meet him and his guard each week as we journey through Egypt making Egyptian crafts, playing games, sampling Egyptian food, and celebrating together.
This will happen at both services- 9 and 11. If you are a parent and would like to help in anyway, please contact Jennifer at jsatterlee@covenant-mail.com or call 304-876-2212 x45.

WELCOME TO RIGHT TRACK CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Welcome to Right Track Children's Ministries! We are so glad to have your family visit our church where we believe that kids matter to God! Our desire is simple, to win kids to Christ and grow the spiritually. We do this as a team- the church and parents partnering together.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) tells us to "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." We want to help parents get their kids on the "right track" and keep them on it, following God's Word as they grow up.
Along the track we desire that kids would be:
Knowledgeable in the Bible- We want children to know the Bible and be taught the truth found in God's Word. This comes through our various classes, curriculum, and trained teachers as well as other resources.
Intimate in Worship- We encourage kids to get involved and intimately worship God through praise and worship in our classes, services, and special activities.
Involved in Service- Kids can realize their importance and worth to God by discovering their gifts, talents, and interests at early ages and using them to serve others in our community, region, and world.
Purposeful in Prayer- Kids are taught how to pray and given opportunities to pray for themselves, each other, and people around the world. It is exciting to allow children to pray and then see God answer their prayers.
Fully Committed to the cause of Christ- We desire for all children when they are able to express what they believe about Christ to commit their lives to Jesus and follow Him in baptism. This may be different ages for different children and we partner with the parents to help them discern when their son or daughter is ready. Children are then encouraged and taught how to live out their lives in following God and telling others about His Son.
1st TIME GUEST INFORMATION
If you are going to be a first time guest, you can call us ahead of time and let us know you are coming and we will glady arrange for someone to meet you at the Welcome Center. We will show you and your children to their classes. You may arrange this by calling Mrs. Gail at 304-876-2212 x33- Mon-Thur.
Upon entering the building, make your way to the Children's Area by following the overhead directional signs. Once you are in the Children's Area, signage will also direct you to the right classroom. All visitors are asked to fill out a "VISITOR CARD". These can be found in any classroom or nursery and one card can be filled out for multiple children in the same family.
Our teachers and volunteers can instruct you on how to fill out our "sign in" forms and receive a security label that you must present when checking out your child. This number will also be used in the event of an unconsolable child in the nurseries or in case we need to find you. The number will flash on the big screens in the Worship/Activity Center where we hold our services.
Please note that if your child is potty training, has allergies, or any special needs, there is a place to indicate on the "sign in" form so our teachers can provide the best care possible. It is good for you to also mention these things verbally to the child's teacher when you sign them in.
We sincerely hope you and your family have a pleasant and welcoming experience here at Covenant.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Right Track Children's Ministry is always on the look out for loving adults and teens to serve on our Children's Ministry Team. There are many ways to serve as assistants, teachers, office help, snack helpers, special event teams, and more. We need vounteers and teachers in our nursery, preschool, kindergarten, Kidmo, and World Changer Programs.
To learn more about how you can get involved and be a part of the team that is shaping this generation of the church and reaching out to kids that need to know about Jesus, please contact Mrs. Gail at 304-876-2212 x33 or email me at gscheffers@covenant-mail.com. We will mail you a screening form, along with a brief description of our policies. Once you return the screening form, we complete reference checks and background checks on all volunteers serving in the classrooms and nurseries.
Experience is always helpful, but not required. Commitment is necessary, but we do allow our up and coming volunteers to figure out how and where to serve according to their gifts and calling. We basically want people who love kids and want to build relationship with them to help them on their journey to following Jesus. Teacher Training is also offered throughout the year.
