As a young parent, do you ever feel you need a relaxing night out and feel comfortable that your children are safe and receiving good care without the expense of a babysitter?
As a young family or young parent, do you want some personal time to “rekindle,” go out to dinner, go shopping, go to a movie, or just go back home to relax?
Outer Banks Presbyterian Church is offering a Parents’ Night Out as a free gift to the community. You do not have to attend the church or any church to participate. All young families and parents are welcome.
There is also a nursery for the very young participants during Parents Night Out.
Children will be grouped according to age and will be closely supervised by experienced adults and assisted by experienced teenage babysitters.
Children ages three years to fifth grade are welcome, and children older than fifth grade may come as helpers.
There will be a nursery available for younger children. All age groups will have fun participating in various activity stations. There will be a hands-on activity station, an age appropriate interactive bible based story-time and group discussion station, a snack station where the children will actually help make the snacks related to that night’s topic, and a team building game or physical activities station.
The children will rotate according to age groups through the various stations. Every month, the stations will have a topic that will be planned by the Parents’ Night Out Director Michele Albright, a certified public school teacher, who is the mother of two young children herself.
Albright is youth director at Outer Banks Presbyterian Church and also works as nursery caregiver during Sunday worship services.
When parents and children arrive, Albright will greet the children and introduce them to their age groups and various activity stations. After a five-minute introduction and orientation, parents simply leave and do whatever they have planned for themselves, returning no later than 9:30 p.m. to pick up their children.
Everyone is strongly encouraged to pre-registered as space is limited. Once the limit is reached, no one else may register. If space is available you may register that day.
Please call the church office to check availability. Registration forms can be obtained here, by emailing obpc@earthlink.net, or by calling the church office at 252-441-5897. The number of children will be limited to ensure the safety of the children, and the church will be locked during each event. Parents will need to bring a picture ID when picking up their children.
You can register online in advance. Just fill out the form below. Be sure to also fill out the Medical Release Form and bring it with you when you drop off your child.
