Children’s Choir for grades 1st-5th kicks-off today! This is an exciting time for our Children’s Department and the Emmanuel Music Ministry. Come enjoy a fun and energetic time of singing in preparation for Christmas and other Sunday service opportunities. Children’s Choir will meet TODAY at 4 pm in W-206. Parents, please contact Anita Arviso at 505-793-0184 for more information about Children’s Choir. The Preschool Department will begin using a new electronic check-in system. It is reliable and easy to use and as with any new program we will need to work out the kinks. Please be patient the next few weeks as we implement Lambslist to improve on the safety and security of your child. Reliable and Simple Why use a check-in system? The safety and security of your child is important to us. Lambslist provides a safe, easy to use system for self check-in, and enables us to keep track of each child while participating in activities at Emmanuel.
