Kids Combos run from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. K - 5th grade will do Bible Search and learn to use the Bible for answers to age appropriate situations. 3-5 year olds will be doing Bible Stories with hands on activities. Elementary and preschool sign in each evening is done in the Fellowship Hall by the stage. We will take them to their proper class. If they are also participating in choir, dance, or homework help, we will make sure your child safely gets to all their activities.

Sunday, May 17, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Casual survival attire recommended. Children are welcome! We will have a movie room with snacks for the older children and nursery for the younger.

Who is a Volunteer you ask? You are!
If you have helped in any way, any amount and in any form, you are a volunteer. From working with the children, to youth, pushing a wheelchair, driving a golf cart, praying for others, helping in the office, etc. We beg you to please come and let us thank you for helping us get through the growth and changes this past year. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Combo Celebration ~ May 27 from 6:30-8:00
Come out and watch all the wonderful children and youth perform. Enjoy the beginning of our “Summer Savory Suppers” with a special picnic of ‘hotdogs and all the fixings’ topped off with a special ice cream dessert. All the classes will be completed so we can fellowship and watch the performers perform.
