Filling our pews with Children's Bibles shows families that we value them and their children. Consider helping the Children's Ministry add Bibles for kids into the pews. We would like to have some Bibles in the sanctuary by Easter. Each Bible costs $25. For every $25 donated comes a label you can fill out to dedicate/In memory a Bible for someone special. Donations can be made online (select "Children's Bibles" in the dropdown menu) or in person. A station will be set up in the Narthex with the Bible labels. Contact Noelle for more information.

In April kids third grade and older (teens encouraged too) are invited to start a Handbell Choir! Rehearsals are set to begin on April 1 at 5 p.m. Please contact Noelle if you are interested. We will need a minimum number of kids committed to move forward.
