And now, a message from our Sponsor...

Hello parents!

Some of you have visited us recently; others have inquired about the playgroup; and still others are semi- or regular attendees. In case we have not corresponded or met in person, my name is Josh Frank. I began working at Our Saviour as the Youth & Children's Formation Minister in August 2008. My wife Jillian and I have a 20 month old son named Jude. They attend the playgroup when they can, which is sporadic now that we live all the way north in Rogers Park (the church was able to house us our first 4 months in the city in the Rectory right next door, so they were in the Nursery ALL the time).

I wanted to let you all know about two changes to our Playgroup. The first one is minor: we have placed a table with a Sign-In/Sign-Out sheet next to the Nursery doors. We would like to be more responsible for our building's use, so this will help us know who is in the building. It will also help me track participation in the Playgroup. The leaders of the church occasionally ask for such information and it is good to let them know the space is being put to good use outside of Sunday morning!

Second, we are planning to shift one of the Playgroup days and times to a morning spot. Starting March 1, Playgroup days and times will be as follows:
Tuesdays, 2:30 - 4:30
Wednesdays, 9:30 - 12
Thursdays, 2:30 - 4:30

Hopefully the Wednesday morning time slot will allow people who have children that like to get out in the morning a chance to come and play together. This also means that during normal work weeks (as if I have one doing Youth and Children's Ministry!), I will likely be in the building during all three Playgroup times. Currently Mondays are my day off. Days and times remain the same for the rest of February (Mon/Tues/Thurs 2:30-4:30).

If you have any questions, please let me know. And please take a moment to stop upstairs and introduce yourself the next time you come to the Playgroup!

Peace to you,
Josh Frank
