Home Group Child Care
Schedule
Updated Sept. 1, 2010
Westwood takes joy in providing child care for
Sunday night Home Groups because we know this facilitates the work of God
through Bible study, fellowship and prayer.
Here are some guidelines that will help us meet your needs while using
our resources wisely.
§ Hours: Child Care is
currently provided for Home Groups who begin between 5:00 and 6:00pm. Therefore, allowing for travel time, children
may be dropped off as early as 4:40pm and should be picked up by 8:15pm, but
definitely no later than 8:30pm.
§ Promptness: Child
care is provided only for group time and travel time. Please don’t drop children off early and
please be prompt in picking them up following the group meeting.
§ Food: Parents are
asked to send a sack dinner with their children. All dinner will be served at 6:30pm.
§ Calendar: A schedule
is posted at WestwoodGroups.com which indicates the nights
child care is provided at church. This
is particularly important around holiday times.
§ Cancellations: If your group decides not to meet, please
contact Virginia Opper or Jay Gordon. If
a number of groups cancel, we may not offer child care on a particular
night. We need a few days notice for
this to be helpful. Please make your
group meeting plans at least a week in advance.
§ Fellowship Events: The church provides child care for
regular group meetings that involve Bible study and prayer. If your group meets for a fellowship event,
separate arrangements need to be made for child care. You may be able to use child care for a
fellowship event, but will likely be charged for that. For more information, please contact Wendy
Sipes or Virginia Opper.
