Note! – Children’s Worship now invites 3 year olds to join in! (Please take your children to the restroom before children’s worship. It helps our workers & teachers out so much – Thank you!!)
Dear Parents: We love to have the children in the sanctuary during the worship time to worship corporately as a church family! It is an important time for them to learn about worship and to be trained from an early age to reverence the Lord. We ask that you please keep them with you at all times and if they are in need of your attention, please take them out of the sanctuary to minimize the distraction to others. The Lord is deserving of all glory and attention at that time and we so appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you!
For His glory, Pastor Pete
