Choir, Dance, Homework Help and Kids Combo

Everything starts back up on September 9 for the kids. We will offer a combo class for preschoolers and elementary age children while parents are in their adult classes. If your child participates in Dance, Homework Help and Combos, but you would like to take a class, we can help. Sign them up in Wesley Hall before dinner, enjoy dinner as a family, and then send them to us just before the worship service. After the service we will check them in and out of their activities so you can attend an adult study. If you have any questions, please see Anne or Angie.
