Once-a-Month Playdate Saturdays

Saturday, May 18

9:30-10:30

Glen Ellyn Manor Park

375 Illinois St, Glen Ellyn

Pack a snack, take a tiny hand

and head on over!

This is a wonderful way for parents and caregivers to meet each other and for children to make friends from church. This play group is an opportunity for families with young children, in kindergarten and younger, to meet and build relationships for the children as well as the adults in their lives. Older siblings are welcome to join play dates too, as an opportunity for them to have fun and to grow into their roles as mentors and nurturers, while building relationships with other adults in the

congregation. If the weather isn’t ideal, we’ll meet in the church preschool room. Text Jessi Fleming at 602.820.6450 with questions.
