Children's Church

Join the Team

One of our children's church volunteers has had to drop out due to health reasons. We need to find a replacement so that our other workers do not have to miss worship more than once a month. Please consider volunteering for this rewarding assignment.

Time commitment: about 45 minutes once a month, or every other month if we get a few more volunteers, and a little bit of planning.

What is involved: We have a simple outline to follow using David's children's time message as a starting point for discussion. There is plenty of time for a snack and free play. We encourage your creativity - garden, do crafts, be artistic, go out in nature!

What if you want to travel on your assigned Sunday? This happens regularly. Just switch with one of the other volunteers.

Please contact Nancy or Lori with questions.
