Children will attend the worship service with their parents. As a

pew bibles, the hymnal, giving to the offering, praying and experiencing
communion. Wee Church for children ages 2-preK will continue year
round.

services. A special reminder to Sunday school teachers, choir members and
staff — we want you to be counted too! If you’re absent for several
consecutive weeks, you will be contacted. We want you to know that in your
