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.

Piano Movers Needed
We need healthy and willing helpers to move the piano off the platform following the morning service today. Many hands will make the load lighter for all. See Brad Butts for details.
Christmas in the Park Parade
Our church will be making a float for the local Christmas parade this year. The Heffners are heading up the project and would love some support and ideas. If you would like to help with this undertaking, meet in the church library next Sunday (Sept 22) immediately after service. The committee will let the church know about supplies that could be donated to help construct their ideas!
Alabaster Offering
September is Alabaster month. This offering helps needy congregations to purchase or repair buildings and property of church facilities in the Church of the Nazarene across the globe. The “church” offering container will be on the welcome center in the foyer starting next Sunday.
Happy Hearts Fellowship
Come join our Happy Hearts Fellowship this Thursday, at noon. Our theme, “Throwback Thursday,” will feature foods from your childhood! Bring a dish you enjoyed as a kid. Come and compete in our church “family feud” game after lunch! Good food and fun makes a heart happy!
Membership Class in October
Pastor will be starting a membership class in October. It will meet during Sunday School on Sunday mornings. The class will take about six weeks to complete. Please let pastor know right away if you are interested in church membership.
