Safe Sanctuaries

This coming Sunday, March 7, Jennifer Hann is going to lead our group with a presentation on child safety and security at church. It's an important topic.

Here's Jennifer's synopsis

"As our Children's ministry is growing, we're revisiting the ways in which we can provide a safe and healthy place for our children. Please join us on March 7th as we watch the DVD 'Safe Sanctuaries: Reducing the Risk of Abuse in the Church for Children and Youth.' While abuse of children is a troubling subject, having a well thought out system of polices and practices reduces the chance of child abuse and injury, protects our staff and volunteers and helps insulate our church from liability. Our child protection committee is drafting policies, forms and training guidelines to reduce the worries and protect our church communty. While this topic is of special interest to parents, gandparents and educators, an aware congregation is esential to our mission.

Please join us at 9:45. We'll be glad to have you. As usual, excellent child care is provided.
