The Search for

Meaning: Working It Out

"Children's Church Quiet Bags" are for children to have during worship time. After worship service please return the bags with everything in them, except the coloring pages, to the baskets under the tables. The church nursery during worship is only for babies through 2-years-old. If your child is 3 and up, please pick up a "Children's Church Quiet Bag" in the foyer. Also, there is a Training Room on the south side in back of the auditorium.
