Family Time Together Play Group at Hope Church is an opportunity for parents and children to meet together, doing a variety of activities and, more importantly, getting to know other young families. Over the years, when there has been a group of families with children between infancy and kindergarten that were interested in meeting together, we have set a couple of play times each month. Hope Church has offered the space, toys, and snacks. If you are a parent, caregiver, or grandparent of a young child, please consider joining this group. As the weather grows less conducive for play outside, the Commons and nursery could be a great place for the children to have some space to move. Hope Church has a few scooters, small riders, and other toys that are not used in our limited nursery space.
The first meeting of this group will be Friday, January 10, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Jocelyn Van Heest (jvanheest@hopechurchrca.org), or respond on an interest sheet in the Gathering Area. The second meeting will be on Thursday, January 23, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. We will assess the days and times after these first two gatherings. In the past it has been a wonderful way for the children to enjoy each other and to meet new friends.
We hope you will join us for this wonderful time of fellowship and fun! You’re encouraged to invite friends and their children, too.
