9) Sub with us in Kids Ministry: As we are in the middle of flu season having a sub team really helps support the team. Our sub team is a critical part of helping make Sunday mornings the best experience possible. Subs sign up for one weekend and service a month. It is very flexible, and it is a great opportunity for you all to learn more about what we do as a kids ministry on Sunday mornings. You can sign up to join our sub team with this link.
10) Serve with us in Kids Ministry: We are always looking for more people to join the team. This is a great opportunity to get connected, and to learn more about how to disciple your kids.

11) Join the set up teams: One team I am wanting to grow is the team to help me set up rooms on Sunday. I am looking for couple of people to serve kids ministry by coming in during the week to help set up the kids space.
