Summer Opportunities for Children


Summer Sunday School

Every Sunday beginning May 26th, all kids, preschool (potty-trained) through 5th grade will be combined in room 110 right at 9:30 a.m. to hear a short Bible-based lesson and then have time to socialize and enjoy our playground. Older youth are invited to help lead activities like chalk, crafting, or bubbles.
