Children's Sunday School
Our children's Sunday school is for all children Pre-K, ages 3 through 6th grade.
All children are welcome!
Children's Church Time
Join in on the fun of our Children's Church time. An adult will meet the children after the children's sermon and take them to the Children's room for age appropriate lessons and play. They will return before the beginning of communion.
If you are interested in volunteering for an occasional Sunday, please contact Kathy Hoinski or the church office.
Sunday School Project
The children will be making puppets featuring the characters from the Holy Week story. We need half gallon milk or juice cartons, rinsed and dried to use for the base of each puppet. Please drop them off in the gathering space during the first 3 weeks of March. We will begin making them on March 23rd.
