Children and Worship

There is good evidence that children learn about worship from parents who make a commitment to regularly attend worship services. The nursery and Little Lambs are open during the 8:45 am worship service and the Christian Education hour (10:00 am to 10:45 am). It is staffed with trained workers and supported with volunteers.
