Nursery ♦ Birth - 2 Years |
|
Nursery is provided during the Sunday morning worship service,
during ABF, and on special occasions. |
 |
|
Although children of any age are always welcome to
attend our services with their parents, our nursery
provides a respite for younger children and allows
the parents to give their undivided attention to the
service. Our nursery is staffed by church members
who volunteer on a monthly rotation with a few who
serve weekly. Our nursery helps the babies and
toddlers feel that church is a happy place where
they are loved and secure. |
