Connecting Families With Fellowship, Faith, and Fun 

Our early childhood programs are filling up with non-member community families that can benefit from being “plugged” in to your ELC, your grade school and eventually to your church.  Striving to connect new families to each other and to rooted members builds a sense of community and trust.  This sectional shows how to use different events that provide fellowship, strengthen faith, and are fun for the whole family.  Connecting new families to rooted ones as well as showcasing the programs of the school is key to a successful early childhood program. Come and see how St. John’s, Wauwatosa, uses these activities to bridge families and build their early childhood program.
