The Educational Ministry Committee would like to try offering the Nursery for those kids ages two and under during the Sunday School hour the 1st and 3rd Sundays to allow some of our new parents the opportunity to attend Sunday School each month.

If you would like to choose a Sunday to participate keeping the nursery during the Sunday School hour only, please contact Nancy Alford or Lorianne Riggin.  Nancy will have the Nursery availble for these new parents on March 16th. Please take advantage of this service as we grow in our faith together.
