Sunday School classes are each Sunday at 9:40am and Children’s Time classes are at 11am. Check-ins are by entrance C. Kids will need to be checked in and picked up by an adult parent/guardian. Parents, you can pick up your children at the end of Sunday School or you can leave them with us if they are also attending Children’s Worship. Please remember kids returning for Children’s Time will need to be re-checked in.
