What to expect when you visit us…
- Children begin by sitting with their parents in the sanctuary
- Early in the service, the children will be called to the platform for the “Children’s Chat”
- After the chat, children and their teachers walk to their classrooms in the Education Wing, just down the hall from the sanctuary.
- Immediately after the service, around 11:15am, parents are to pick up children in their classroom.
