Nursery Care
Please bring your child to the nursery, located on the
lower level of the church, prior to the service starting.
The nursery is designed for those children who are new born
straight through to Jr/Sr. Kindergarten.

during our worship time:

for it is such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child will never enter it"
Luke 18:16-17
