We will be offering Kids Night Out as part of Sunday evening's Lenten Dinner program. The children, ages preschool through fifth grade, will join their families and the church family for dinner in the Simpson Room at 5. At approximately 5:45, we will gather the children who want to join us for a Bible story, craft, activity and prayer. The children will then rejoin their families in the sanctuary for the final songs in the hymn sing.
Anyone 11 or older who has not been confirmed is invited to be part of the upcoming confirmation class. Classes will begin this coming Sunday, February 17, during the Sunday School hour.
