Welcome…
to Reedy Kids Sunday here at Reedy Creek Baptist Church (RCBC) in 2011. Thank you so much for entrusting your child to our care on Sunday mornings. We’re looking forward to a terrific year of fun and learning as we get to know each other and study the Bible together in lots of interesting ways. Each week we make every effort not only to study the Bible story, but also to relate it to real-life applications that the children can put to practical use in their journey with Jesus.
What…
is it that we are hoping for your children? What do we envision for them? What are our goals for them? Wouldn’t we be thrilled to know that they are going to be something for the Kingdom of God; that their lives are going to count for eternity?
At Reedy Kids Sunday…
we de
sire your children to grow up knowing Jesus. Reedy Kids Sunday is about helping children to the realization that a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is a dynamic adventure in which they come to know God as a person, become the person God intended for them to be, and begin to pursue their place in God's Kingdom plan.
Safety comes first …
When children arrive, they register at the ‘Reedy Kids Sunday’ registration table before entering the auditorium with their parents. On the first day, a registration form needs to be filled in for each new child. Thereafter, your child will be recorded on the attendance register. All children remain in the service until they are dismissed to their individual programmes.
At the end of Reedy Kids Sunday, your child in school age (Gr 1-Gr 6) will be released into our main court yard area. For our crèche and Preps it would be appreciated if you collect your child as soon as the service is over, as not only do leaders need to pack up, but children get anxious when all the others have gone and they are still waiting.
Parents/ Carers …
are the most important people in a child’s life, and learning about God starts in the home. Reedy Kids Sunday affirms the home as the centre of guidance in the ways of the Lord. Scripture says that we are to “train up a child in the way he should go.” Each child has a “way” he/she should go. At Reedy Kids Sunday we want to do our best to support you in your child’s spiritual adventure, and be ready to help you at any time.
OUR SMALL GROUPS
New Born Babies We are excited to offer the Parent Room at the back of our main auditorium. This room is designed for parents of new born babies. It is equipped with inbuilt speakers allowing for parents to join in the service whilst caring for their babies. We have provided a comfortable environment with changing and feeding facilities as well as toys for the little ones.
Creche (up to 3 years of age)
In order for our creche to run as smoothly and safely as possible we have aimed to place all crèche parents on our crèche roster for two consecutive weeks, either two or three times a year to share in the minding of our babies.
This group meets in the first half of the small activities hall (SAH). Access is through the external door, off courtyard, then through the playground gate.

This group meets in the second half of the small activities hall (SAH). Access is through the external door, off courtyard, then through the playground gate.
When your child turns 3 they are invited to move up into the Preps programme. This may happen on their 3rd birthday or at a time agreeable to you, the Children’s Ministry Co-ordinator and the teacher of the Preps.
As we look forward to the year ahead, we thank God for each little miracle that will be in our care and we thank you for this opportunity to partner with you in bringing the message of Jesus to these little ones.
Grade 1-Grade 3
Our multi-media programme combines song, bible lessons, games and more. As this is one of our largest age groups extra hands supervising are always welcome. This group meets in the back half of Large Activities Hall (LAH).
