OUR PRESENCE:
GUESTS
Your children ages 4-12 are invited to join us for Children’s Church each Sunday immediately after Wiggle
Time for Children during our worship services. After Wiggle Time, our children’s ministers escort the
children to the Education Building for age appropriate, Christian education and fun activities. Your children
are always welcome to stay for our regular services; but if you wish them to attend Children’s Church, they
may leave with the other children during this time. Children may be picked up in the Education Building
after the services. Rehoboth UMC maintains current Safe Sanctuaries policies that can be obtained through
the church office.
