Children's Ministry Meeting

Be here for the upcoming children's ministry meeting on Wednesday, April 9th at 7 p.m. in the fellowship hall. While the kids have a fun movie night sponsored by the youth, we will be discussing upcoming events, such as Children's Night, our Community Event, and VBS, as well as some basics. This is a great way to learn about opportunities in children's ministry and to talk about ideas you may have. Any questions? call Amity. Hope to see you there!
