Bzzz … Introducing A Pager System
for Nursery/Toddler Group and  Sunday School

A pager system will be available in late October to help Christ Church fulfill its United Church policies for our Duty of Care for our children.

For the 10:30 Nursery parents will receive a pager to take into the worship in case our nursery care-giver needs to connect with them.

For the 9:02 church school time the system will connect with the person on sound board duty and someone will be asked to go and assist the teacher.
