Dear Nursery Parents,
We are now in the month of August. In the weekly Nursery video, I have been introducing the colors of the rainbow and God’s Promises in them. This week’s color is “Purple”; it reminds us that Jesus is King of the universe and He reigns over everything in our lives; that includes our precious children. Let us place our trust in Him and follow His steps daily; like the color “Purple”, with the Grace of Jesus, we can create a new color and paths in our children’s lives.
"These will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them; for He is the Ruler of rulers and the King of kings, and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." Revelation 17:14
What you need:
1. A puppet or a friendly stuffy.
2. A friendly image of “a leader”.
3. Your child/family's favorite songs ready to play.
4. Shakers, rattles, or scarves to have fun with the music.
We have embedded the links of some of our favourites right into the worship and prayer tab to make it easier for you to find :-)
5. A Beginner’s Bible (Or any Children’s Bible): Read from190-193: 'The Lord Is My Shepherd”. Pray about the wisdom to send a short and clear message, and mark the picture on P.192
6. Box of hand wipes or sanitizer & snacks like cookies.
*The better you prepare, the more fun both you and your child will have. It is highly recommended to read the chapter or/and watch the video ahead of the time. *The Bible Time could be 15-20 minutes. It could be shorter or longer. It is important that you know your child’s character and decides the length of time, the type of songs….be flexible, and have fun with him/her!
May God bless you and your family as you follow His way. Choose a quiet place where there are few things to distract your child. Use a big smile :-) and an exciting tone of voice. Let’s start!

such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” or/and “Wheels on the Bus”.
2. Tell your child (Proclaim) what God is like (God’s attribute).
Our God is like a leader. He is fair and kind. He watches over us and
has an amazing plan to give us hope and a future.
3. Sing: “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” (Sign Language)
*You don’t need to use all these signs; you can pick and choose the
signs which will be helpful and fun for you and your children. [Link to YouTube song]

About The Nursery
The Willingdon Nursery serves families with children ages 0-2, enabling parents to worship regularly in services while their children are cared for by a team of loyal and dedicated volunteers. The Nursery includes three rooms: a Toddler Room, Infant Room, and Mother's Room where children are cared for in age-appropriate areas. Children are checked in by parents and given a pager to notify parents for diaper changes, crying children, etc. The Nursery is open during the 5pm service on Saturday evenings and all Sunday services as well as for selected special events.
The Mother's Room is for those who need to feed their infants. This is a quiet room where you can nurse your child without missing the sermon. To respect their privacy, mothers and infants only in this room please, and please respect those who are trying to listen to the sermon.
