NURSERY CARE
Our fully staffed nursery welcomes your children age 4
and under. In addition, a “cry room”, located at the back of the sanctuary, is
available for parents to feed their babies or sit with them during the worship service.
KIDS IN CHRIST
Children age 5 through 3rd grade will begin in worship
with their families, go up for the Children’s Message, and then be dismissed for a
time of learning in Room 201.
KIDS IN WORSHIP
There are children’s Bibles, Bible story books and
updated weekly sermon notes at the back of the sanctuary for your children to
use during the sermon. There are also Learning & Sharing bags available.
Please return bags, books and Bibles to the back of the sanctuary after worship.
HEARING AIDES AVAILABLE
Our sanctuary is equipped with assisted hearing devices for those who have a difficult time hearing. They are simple
to use and very effective and are available from the sound booth at the back of
the sanctuary.
BIBLES AVAILABLE
Did you forget your Bible? Part of fulfilling our
mission statement is to purposefully get into the Word. Please follow along with
the scripture reading today. There are Bibles under the seats and on the table at
the back of the sanctuary. Pick up a Bible and be ready to follow along. If you
don’t have a Bible of your own, there are soft cover Bibles on the table under the
credenza at the back of the sanctuary for you to take and use as our gift to you.

Lenten Sermon Series
No single event in human history has received more attention
than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.
We continue to share a series of messages that guide us
through the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life. Each service will be
designed to help you experience and understand the significance of Jesus’ suffering and death in a way you have never
done before.
All of our Small Groups will be participating in this study as
well. Get involved this week and whether you are a long-time
Christian, new to the faith or simply curious about the story of
Christ’s crucifixion, you are invited to join us for this powerful
series as we retrace – 24 Hours That Changed the World.
