Do you enjoy singing Bible songs with your kids? Telling Bible stories to the littles? We could use your servant heart in Children’s Worship. Our special time set aside for ages 2-5 that takes place during the sermon is a fun place to spend 20-25 minutes telling the children a story from the Bible, singing The Lord’s Army, singing the books of the Bible and giving the parents an opportunity to take in the message, uninterrupted. Teenage youth this is a great place to practice your teaching skills and have fun! Mom and daughter/son, wife and husband, this is where it all starts! All materials prepared and ready for YOU! Please see Pam to be a part of this wonderful ministry.
