Children & Worship
During our morning worship service, immediately following the children’s message, children ages three through second grade are invited to attend Children and Worship, which meets in the worship center in the back of the fellowship hall. Children experience worship in the same order as in the sanctuary: we approach God in reverence, hear His Word proclaimed, respond in praise, and go forth in peace and love to serve in God’s name. Their worship includes songs, prayers, Bible stories presented using wooden figures and felt pieces, and an offering of creative response. Children and Worship is a program for children learning to worship God, rather than a time to socialize or play. In a culture that competes for our attention and consumption, this is an opportunity for young children to learn to offer their attention and love to God.
Each Children and Worship service builds on previous stories brought into the worship center throughout the year. Children are encouraged to begin this age-specialized program at the start of the school season after they turn 3 years old. Visitors are welcome to attend.

Students in high school gather together with Pastor Randay to work through Bible study materials together as a group.
