Children's Ministry

Parents and Caregivers,
 
We are now offering In-Person Sunday School (10:00 AM) and Children’s Church (during 11:00 AM service) with a new curriculum called “What’s in the Bible?”. All children will be seated socially distanced from one another, and a snack and drink will be provided (if your child has dietary restrictions or allergies, please let me know so I may safely accommodate their needs). Please encourage your children to wear a mask. If you have any questions about Sunday School or Children’s Church, please feel free to text, call, or email me.
 
Below are the video links for On-line Sunday School. Please help your child/children in watching the video lesson intended for their specific age group. Also, if you watch it with them, you may be able to have a good discussion about what they learned!
