Children's Ministry
Children on Sunday Morning
All children are welcome to join us on Sunday morning to learn about the life of Jesus. The children begin worship in the sanctuary with their family. After Children's Time, the children leave for Sunday school or may remain with their family. Children spend time with others in their age group, led by trained volunteer teachers. Childcare is available for children 2½ and younger starting at 9:30am. All children are welcome!
A-Club
Children who are at least 6 years old or tall enough are invited to be part of the "A Club" for acolytes. Contact Brandon or check out the bulletin board in the first floor hallway for meeting times.

We had a blast ice skating downtown on Sunday, January 15! And more than 30 children took part in the Easter Egg Hunt on April 7. We will have more information on this year's Vacation Bible School coming soon.
Thanks!

Finally, I want to acknowledge and recognize all the parents who volunteer each month to spend a Sunday with our youth in Sunday School. Without the help of these wonderful people our Children's Program would not be what it is. A heartfelt thank you to: Matt Chiodini, Betsy Hunsicker, Jessica Laraway, Kristi Conroy, Becca Shramek, Tori Grode, Liz Moore, June Hicks, Karen Smith, Mona Ontaneda, Sara Pines and Amy Warner!
Contact me if you have any questions!
