Please talk it over with your young ones, it doesn't matter how young they are, and let us know if you are interested.
Class will be held on Saturday, March 2nd, from 9-11am. We ask that a parent be present at this session. Please call or email the Church Office to register. Mark these dates on your calendar as well: There will be a Seder Meal for the kids and their families on Maundy Thursday, March 28th, at 6pm, followed by our worship service at 7pm when the kids will receive their First Communion. (If these dates are not convenient for you but you'd like your child to participate, please talk to Pastor Tim.)
