Can I Bring My Child to Worship?
The answer is a definite “yes!” We believe that attending worship is an mportant part of a child’s faith development. If children are not taught to worship, they will not grow into worshipping adults.

We welcome children in our worship services by providing:
    Children's worship bulletins.
    Children's Bibles on the Usher's table in the narthex.
    Instruction for baptized children about the Lord's Supper and sharing Communion with us.
    Worship boxes with appropriate activities to be utilized during worship.  

We strongly encourage children and their parents to attend both worship and Sunday School. Questions about Children's Ministry? contact Jan Z.
