For our families with children
If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.
On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.
Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.
Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.
Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

Prayer Chain
In case you didn’t know, our church has a prayer chain. The purpose of our prayer chain is to distribute prayer requests as quickly as possible so that we can unite in prayer for specific, urgent needs. Would you like to join us? You can be contacted via email or text message. If you do not have these services, you can also be contacted via phone during the day. Please fill out the form that can be found on the Welcome Center and place it in the offering boxes. We would love to have you take part in this prayer ministry.
This Weeks’ Message
"Weeping for Her Children"
Scripture: Matthew 2:16-18
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 "A voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted,
Because they are no more."
