NEW Sunday Morning Safety
Your children's safety is our highest priority at Hyde Park. The entrance to the Wesley Center will now be restricted to children and their parents/guardians and Children's Ministries volunteers only. During drop-off, 9:15-9:45 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.-11:15, and pick-up times after services, a greeter will have the doors open to welcome your family as always. During programming times, 9:45-10:30 a.m. and 11:15-Noon, all Children's Ministries' volunteers are engaged with your children. During these programming times, the doors will be on keypad lock. We will give you a code at drop-off in case you are ever running late or need to pick up your children early. Connection Point, located outside the Wesley Center doors in the Courtyard, also has the code. Parents with children in Small Blessings or Wednesday night programs already have the code and may use it. Please contact Meagan Kempton, Dir. of Children's Ministries with any questions.
