KIDS BELONG HERE

FAMILY WORSHIP

We are so happy to welcome you and your family to any of our worship services at any of our three locations. Kids Belong Here! We love the sound of children, including their noise, laughter and busy-ness. God made kids active and conversational, and we understand and love this! We love the presence of YOUR children in our church!

With this in mind, here are a few tips to help your children engage in the service:

Relax!  It's okay to let kids be kids here.
Sit Close!  Consider sitting closer to the front where it is easier for your kids to see what is going on in the service.
Explain!   Quietly explain what is going on in the service, so they can understand the different parts of the service.
Join in!   Kids learn by example. If you sing, respond, pray and participate in the service, your kids will too!
Need to step out?   Sometimes kids just need a break. Feel free to step out if you need to, but please come back. 🙂
