During our services a nursery with professional care givers is provided for our youngest children just off the Narthex in the Education Building. A beeper system is available should you need to be called to check on your child. Please see an usher or greeter for directions to the nursery. Should you need to leave the worship service with your child, there is a quiet room off the Narthex where you can see and hear the service.
Except for the first Sunday of the month, Children’s Church is available during 11:00 am worship service for children ages 4 through the second grade. After the “Children’s Parable”, children are led from the sanctuary to Sunday School Classroom 3 (lower level, yellow room) to enjoy engaging activities for the remainder of the worship hour. Instead of attending Children’s Church, children may choose to sit quietly with their parents as worship continues.
