Help! What's up with three congregations? I need info.  If this sounds like you, relax! We will outline for you what every parent needs to know about three congregations. First, we are asking you to commit to attending either the 5:00 p.m. or 7:10 p.m. congregation at Bee Ridge on Saturday or the 10:40 a.m. congregation at Tuttle Avenue on Sunday. Which one you pick likely may revolve around your kids activities. Here are some points to consider:

• Journey Kids runs during the 5:00 congregation at Bee Ridge Road on Saturday and the 10:40 a.m. service on Sunday at Tuttle Avenue.
• Kidzown Klubhouse runs during the 7:00 p.m. congregation at Bee Ridge.
• Most of the Journey Kids at Bee Ridge stay for Kidzown Klubhouse. They are taken there from Journey Kids. You will designate when you check them in if they are staying for both programs or not.
• Parents are welcome and encouraged to join their Journey-Kids-age children in Kidzown Klubhouse during the second congregation because "parents are welcome in the klubhouse."
• Nursery and Little Steps run during both the 5:00 and 7:10 congregations on Saturdays at Bee Ridge and the 10:40 a.m. service at Tuttle.
• The Little Step program will be different during the 7:00 congregations- more of a "blue's clue's" type video program- called "Lil-K".
• MS Life meets on campus during the 5:00 congregation on Saturdays at Bee Ridge and attend the 7:10 worship service at the same campus.
• High School students will meet on Saturdays at the Bee Ridge campus to serve during one of the congregations and then attend one either at 5:00 or 7:10pm
• We enc.ourage couples to attend the worship service together if at all possible.

With all that in mind....do what is in the best interest of your family and your family's immediate needs. If your kids are too young to stay through both programs, just pick one. We understand. If your kids are scattered across all ages, decide how the night unfolds best for your family. You may have to "divide and conquer." Below we have included some tables that may help. If you need additional information please email us at twocongregations@southshorechurch.com or call the church office.
