Summer Children's Chapel
Sundays, beginning June 16, during the 10:15 a.m. service
“For the saints of God are just folk like me,
and I mean to be one too.”
Shepherds, artists, authors, doctors – the saints of God, past, and present can inspire us in our lives. This summer we will learn about a new saint each week – sometimes from long ago, some you’ve never heard of before, some familiar. Come hear the story of their life – how they were just a regular person like you and me, and did incredible things for God. We will add a new saint to our collection each week and by the end of the summer, decide how we will be saints for God’s kingdom, too. Craft projects, skits, and outdoor games will keep us engaged and having fun together!

During the summer, children in grades Pre K through 5th grade are invited to join Children's Chapel. Children sit with their family in church at the beginning of the 10:15 a.m. service and are called out to Children's Chapel. Children return to church with their families before communion. There is no sign up for Children's Chapel, just come forward when called. All are welcome!
