WOW! Parents are important!
Here are some in inspiring facts!
* An extensive study of 272, 400 teenagers conducted by USA Today Weekend Magazine found that 70 percent of teens identified their parents as the most important influence in their lives. Twenty-one percent said that about their friends (peers), and only 8 percent named the media (from Wayne Rice and David Veerman, Understanding Your Teenager, Lakeside, CA: Understanding Your Teenager Books, 1999, 118).
* MVParents.com says, ‘Nearly three out of four parents believe their children’s friends and classmates have the most influence… Yet contrary to what parents think, kids say mom and dad have the biggest impact on the choices they make’ (MVParents.com is a web site of the Coors Brewing Company).
* In a national survey, 1, 129 middle school students were asked what the greatest influence in their life was, and parents topped the list. The results were: parents–37 percent, friends–22 percent, church–11 percent, youth pastor–7 percent, and music–5 percent. Adult volunteers, schoolteachers, culture, and the internet each scored 2 percent or less. A national survey of 923 high school students yielded very similar results (Southern Baptist Convention survey, taken from www.sbcstudents.com/annualsurvey/2007ParentYouthRelationships.pdf).
* MTV and the Associated Press released a study on influence of parents that said, “So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, and a little rock ‘n’ roll. Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys. Turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question… Parents are seen as an overwhelmingly positive influence in the lives of most young people. Remarkably, nearly half of teens mention at least one of their parents as a hero” (“MTV and the Associated Press Release Landmark Study of Young People and Happiness” at www.mtv.com/thinkmtv/research).

SNOW Policy
If church opens on a day when there is a snow event, parents should expect that they may not be able to bring their child/ren to a Children's Ministry program. Workers are not expected to drive through harsh conditions. If your family is able to attend, and your child does not have a room with 2 helpers working there, you may be asked to help.

Winter in Children's Ministry
Hello Parents,
Here is a review of what we will do in Children’s Ministry this Winter.
9:00 service
In the sanctuary there will be a traditional worship service.
Children who wish to attend Sunday School should go to the Fellowship Hall downstairs upon arriving at church. After service ends, parents should pick up children in the Fellowship Hall. Please pick up between 10:05 and 10:10.
Here are the upcoming classes during Sunday School:
• Nursery – 3 month old through 2 years old
• Sunday School for ages 3 and 4 will be led by Diana Hutchinson
• Sunday School for Kindergarten and Age 5 will be led by Karen Hagstrom
Grades 1-4 will be part of a Workshop Rotation. Our unit will study the life of David.
Science-
Drama- Madelon Anderson
Cooking-Sandra Metaxotos
Art- Heather Ramm
Shepherds - Janet Mousmoules, Ellen Mailhot,& Cindy Carlson
If you are planning on being a shepherd, or teacher, let me know.
Club 56 will spend the Fall reviewing Bible Basics

10:30 Service
In the sanctuary, we will have a contemporary worship service.
Children enter the Sanctuary and stay with their parents until the children's message and dismissal. Parents should pick up children in the Fellowship Hall immediately after service ends.
Here are the classes during 10:30 Service
• Nursery – 3 month olds through 2 year olds
• Praise & Play – 3 year olds through Kindergarten
• Children's Church – Grade 1 through Grade 4
Another 10:30 option…
We also have a more traditional Sunday School option for children in grades 1-3. This class is led by Mrs. Kathy Ang and will study one book of the bible for 7 weeks. Children should come immediately to the classroom at 10:30 and not go upstairs for the service.

What is "Rotation"?
Our Current Rotation is Josiah.
We utilize the workshop rotation method to teach our children about Jesus and give them a strong foundation in the bible. We began using this method in September 2002 and we hosted a training workshop for churches across New England in January 2004 that highlighted this method. The students and the Parent staff at Bethany Covenant Church have both benefited from the rotation model.
The Workshop Rotation Model, also popularly known as WORM, focuses on teaching utilizing a variety of different methods that take into consideration the different ways we all learn. Some of us remember well what we say or read and write (verbal), some learn better when we are actively involved (physical), others are analytical and want to know how and why (logical). There are also those who are learn best when they interact with others (interpersonal), or when they are viewing, or creating something (visual). Then there are those who learn the most when the explore an idea or project independently (reflective) and those who remember well what was presented to them musically (musical). Each person learns utilizing all of these methods but have strengths and weaknesses. Workshop rotation model helps us to address the strengths and reduce weaknesses. One great benefit is how very few behavior issues have been seen at BCC since we began this program.
Utilizing this method we organize our teaching to use multiple workshops for learning a bible story. The same bible story is learned over a three to four week period but each week it is presented in a different format; drama, cooking, art, Science, storytelling, puppetry, games and drama are all used.. The story and the accompanying bible memory verse are emphasized each week to maintain a connection through the rotation.
Some of the rotations we have taught include Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Ruth, Gideon, Joshua, Josiah , Hezekiah, Miracles, Parables, The 12 disciples, The Resurrection, and the Christmas story using this method. Each week the students go to a different room depending on the rotation.
If your child has any food allergies please let us know.
One strength of this program is our Shepherd team. These committed volunteers devote one term to one year getting to know their “flock” of children. They make relationships that last long past Children’s Ministry and into youth ministry.
