Regular Sunday School classes begin at age 3 and there are teachers for those classes. For children under 3 years old we are offering a place for supervised play, snack, and a very short simple age appropriate Jesus message. All materials and snacks will be provided in the nursery classroom. There is a sign up sheet located by the door of the nursery room for people wanting to help out in this classroom. You can also call the church office, 358-1325, if you are willing to sign up.
† PORTALS OF PRAYER The new Portals of Prayer for the summer are on the table by the nursery in the narthex.
† NURSERY/CRY ROOM Should your child become distressed or distract others during the service, a furnished nursery/cry room is located in the narthex for your use. Please ask one of the ushers if you need directions.
† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.
