1:31 | Sundays | 9:45 AM
Our name is inspired from Genesis 1:31 where God saw everything that God had made and said it was very good. As a church family, we work diligently to eliminate any obstacles that may prevent families from participating in the programs offered at Christ United. Through our 1:31 Special Needs Community, we seek to provide Sunday morning classes that are safe, nurturing, and enjoyable for ALL children during the Sunday School hour starting at 9:45 AM.
We have members of all ages! We serve preschoolers to adults. Our members show us that wheelchairs are not obstacles to playing in God’s house, that communication disorders do not prevent us from talking to God, and that learning differences do not keep us from being students of the Lord. They constantly remind us of their unique abilities and we seek to support and encourage them each Sunday morning. Our goal is to have both you and your child enjoy your time at Christ United, so please join us this Sunday!
First Time?
We are so excited for you to join us! Please contact Meredith McBride so that we can ensure your family’s time at Christ United is the best that it can be. Meredith will also be happy to answer any of your questions!
Check-in
Before proceeding to your child’s classroom, please check-in at one of two computer kiosks located on either side of the welcome desk. You will receive three name badges: place one sticker on your child’s back, give another sticker to the teacher to keep in the classroom, keep the third sticker with you. You will need to show this sticker to the teacher at pick-up time.
Our 1:31 Team
On Sunday mornings, both paid staff and volunteers care for our participants. Each worker and volunteer has completed a background check and received necessary training.
If you are interested in working or volunteering with 1:31 A Special Needs Community, please contact lisa@cumc.com.
Emergency Notifications
The 1:31 staff is encouraged to page parents only when necessary. Should the need arise, your name and your child’s name will show up on the large screens during worship. If you are paged, please come to your child’s room as quickly as possible. In the event of fire or evacuation, children will be escorted to the southeast corner of the parking lot.
Illness
The welfare of the children under our care is our first priority. If your child becomes ill, you will be notified immediately. Please refrain from bringing your child if he or she has had any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours: diarrhea, vomiting, fever, rash, or virus. Children who have seen a physician and/or taken antibiotics for 48 hours will be admitted at the discretion of the nursery staff. Please understand that any decision regarding an ill child is made to provide a healthy and comfortable atmosphere for all children, volunteers, and staff members.
Concerns
Our goal is to provide your child with a loving and safe Christian atmosphere. From time to time, concerns do arise. Please inform us of any problems so they may be addressed immediately. If we can assist you in any way, please contact Meredith McBride, Director of Children’s Ministries.
