One Service Sunday: We’re initially limiting children’s programming to the 11:00a service on Sundays, so we can safely establish our volunteer leader teams and refine the sanitization and changeover processes that will be required for our classrooms between services.
Reservations Required: For now, we’re asking families to register their children by Thursday at noon each week, so we know how to plan for the weekends. This will be an important step in making sure we can continue to move forward with our ministry.
