for a time of prayer, sharing, do crafts, listen to stories, participate

(the first Sunday of each month), children return to the sanctuary after
the sermon so they can celebrate communion with their families.

discover practical instructions of faith, and get encouragement for
times of trial. We'll learn about the true joy that comes from Christ,
how to live in a way which allows our faith to positively impacts
others.
