Children's Ministry

During the month of July, our children are collecting school supplies for local children. Please join them by placing school supplies in the bin outside the Narthex near the elevator anytime in July.

On Sunday, July 24th between services, the children will host a Lemonade and Baked Goods stand outside our front doors. All are encouraged to donate school supplies or monetary donations at the stand to receive lemonad and a baked good. With the money that the children raise, they'll go shopping to buy school supplies. If you have a child that would like to help at the Lemonade and Baked Goods stand, or if you're interested in donating baked goods, please contact the church office.
