Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
Sunday School is for all children Pre-K-5th grade. We welcome families to join us during worship and then after the Children's moment the Sunday School teachers will take you to your classrooms.
Here are a few reminders and changes for parents to know:
• All children will exit the sanctuary after the children’s moment with the Sunday School teachers.
• All children will meet together in order to introduce our Sunday School lesson through various activities such as games, science demonstrations and dramatic play.
• Finally, parents can pick their child(ren) up in the Fellowship Hall after worship service.
