September Chapel Calendar & Offering

During chapel each week, our children will be invited to bring an offering. A big part of learning about God's love for us is learning to love and care for others as well. These offerings that we are inviting our children to bring will be a way for our children to learn that they are never too young to serve and to help others. Each month we will update you on the offering for the month!

Please Label All Belongings

In addition to labeling all of your child's belongings, please see below.

Preschool Sunday - September 29th at 10:00 am

We invite you to join us for worship on September 29th at 10:00 am for Preschool Sunday. Pastor Kristen will be leading worship that day and you will get to experience what your children do in Chapel each week.

Nursey and Childcare will be available after the opening in worship. However, all children are welcome to remain in worship for the duration of the service. For there is no greater sound than rustling in the pew as children learn to participate in worship.

Following worship, we invite families to stay for a time of fellowship. We hope you mark your calendar for this special day!
