Please register your children to participate in children’s activities here.

  • Children’s Worship - Children participating in Children's Worship at the 10 a.m. service will leave the service with Ms. Ruth Anne after the children's message and will return to the sanctuary for communion at the end of Worship. All children ages 4 through 3rd grade are welcome to participate.
