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.

Community Trick or Treat
Our church will be participating in the Community Trick or Treat on National Avenue. It will be Thursday, October 31 from 5-7pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to make our church “visible” in our community. We are collecting candy to pass out that evening. There is a special container in the foyer for candy donations. It is estimated that there will be 800+ kids involved in the event. Please sign upon the bulletin board if you plan to attend.
