Growing in God
We are blessed to offer Children's Worship during both the
Traditional and Contemporary
Services. To help grow the
children's faith and foster family conversation, we
will begin sending home weekly key Bible points the
children learned, a Scripture reading for the family,
and a few questions to discuss. Hopefully, this will
help reinforce the teaching during that time as well
as inform parents what the children learned. Additionally, we would like to challenge the children (and
parents!) to learn one Bible verse or passage a
