Students in sports who arrive later will still be able to eat, they just need to stop by the kitchen. After the children are done eating, they can participate in a craft pertaining to the lesson of the day. From 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. we will have class time and music. Parents are always welcome to join us for class. The first night the children will also be meeting their teacher and Pastor Charis Combs-Lay as well as getting a tour of the Church. At 7:00 p.m. everyone gathers for worship. These services are contemporary and are approximately a half hour long. Parents, grandparents and friends are also invited to join us. Children will have music performances on occasion during these services. Students can sit with their class or may sit with their family. We hope you can join us as this is a wonderful way to worship with your kids amongst the busy schedules our families have.
