winter weather update

Church family, our hearts are with you. We know many are still navigating the effects of the winter weather—especially those without power or heat. Please know you are deeply loved, prayed for, and not alone. We’re grateful that power has been restored to the church, and we look forward to gathering for worship this Sunday at 10:40 a.m. There will be no Sunday School this week, but we invite you to come a little early and warm up with us at 9:45 a.m. for coffee, hot chocolate, donuts, and shared fellowship. If you’re able to join us, please use caution in the parking lot, as some slick spots may remain. And if you need to stay home, know we understand and are holding you in prayer.

Parent's Day Out at Stephens Valley Church

The SVC’S Parent’s Day Out program is excited to partner with Nothing Bundt Cakes for our spring semester fundraiser. Last year’s sale was a HUGE success, so we thought why not do it again? We are hoping to raise enough money to fund an Educational Experience from Lucky Ladd Farm. They will come to the school with a few animals for the children to learn about and experience. There will be a table in the lobby on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights that either Carli or Anita will be at during the next month. The bundt cakes will come to the church in mid-March, and we will make arrangements to get them to you by way of picking them up at the church or making other arrangements.

Here are a few other updates about PDO this year as a ministry to our church. We currently have 90 children enrolled in our program. We have added Chapel this year for our 3– and 4–year–olds who look forward to meeting with Ms. Carli every other week in the Fellowship Hall to learn about different stories in the Bible while also working on learning the Catechisms.

This month we have Rescue Rex coming. Earlier in the year the fire department came, and the children got to experience spraying water from the hose on the truck.

While we missed an entire week of school due to ice, the children, parents, and teachers are very grateful to be back at school and that everyone is safe.

We are so very thankful for a church community that is loving and supportive of the Parent’s Day Out program at SVC.

We hope to see everyone Sunday morning! If you have any questions, please stop by the Nursery table where you can find Anita and maybe even sign up to help love on our own littles at SVC!

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” Matthew 19:14
