Our Nursery Director- Marjorie!
My new favorite person might be Marjorie Carbough, who has graciously volunteered to be our Nursery Director each Tuesday during Humanitarian Service! It's a game changer! Mothers and grandmas are ALWAYS welcome to bring kids, and have been welcome for years! For the past few years, each Tuesday, there would be a few boxes of toys, and the kids would run around and play with toys while the adults serve and sew. My older independent daughter would happily run and play, occasionally checking in with me and running off again. However, my second child is a cling-to-mommy type girl, and she would typically spend the whole two hours underneath one of the quilts pulling at the yarn as I was attempting to tie a quilt. So that was effective (face palm).
Last fall, Marjorie began running a nursery for the kids in the gym! She is from the Lakota Creek Ward in Federal Way, and is Arlene Housman's daughter! She comes prepared with books, games, snacks, crafts, and the kids LOVE her. My clingy child spent the whole 2 hours the other day glued to Marjorie, adoring the story time, painting a hat, and acting out stories! The kids are totally engaged for the whole 2 hours and usually have something to take home with them at the end! She is absolutely wonderful! Her service makes it SOOO much easier for moms like me to come and serve. My daughter calls it "her preschool", even though she's only 2. Marjorie's service is a tender mercy in our lives!
We invite all to come and serve with us, and bring your kids! They'll be in the same room having the time of their lives with Marjorie!
