5th Grade Parents:
1st Sundays: 5th graders will be picked up in their Sunday School classrooms (by youth volunteers) to spend the last 30-40 minutes of the SS Hour with the Youth Group! They will have bagels and ice-breaker games with the youth and youth team. This has been such a great way to ease into youth group and get to know people.
The LANDING Camp Trip / June 12-15: Our Youth Group summer camp is the perfect opportunity for your Fifth Grader (rising Sixth Grader) to get to know our Youth leaders and their peers. It's filled with fun, fellowship, and faith-building activities. Reach out to Marcela Henderman if you have any questions.
Sensory Room Reopening
In the next couple of months, we will be revamping and reopening our Sensory Room. Abigail Pipia (friend of WEPC), is a senior at Godwin High School, working on her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Having been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, she has a heart for creating safe spaces in churches to welcome families and children with special needs. As a part of her Gold Award, she has offered to help us reopen and revamp our sensory room. Our hope is that this room will be a tool for families and CM volunteers to use, to further the Gospel in the hearts of our covenant children. If you would like to help revamp our Sensory Room, please check out this Amazon Wish List. Contact: Audrey Snyder

Infant Nursery and Nursing Mothers' Room
We are so thankful for the growing number of babies in our congregation. Our Infant Nursery is back open and will be staffed on Sunday mornings. There are a number of swings, bouncers, cribs, and toys to keep your baby happy during services.
We also have a Nursing Mothers' Room available for use at all times. It is next to the infant nursery, behind the nursery counter. Mothers, feel free to use this room. There are a number of gliders, a changing pad, and pack 'n plays, and you can listen in to the service while in there.
Church Library
Did you know you can check out books from our church library downstairs? There are a number of children's books that have recently been purchased and are available to check out. Be sure to go take a peek at them on display in the children's section.
