July & August
Children in Worship: Parables of Grace
During the summer families worship together in all three of our Sunday services.
During the sermon at each service, children under 10 years of age
are invited over to the chapel atelier area, where they are encouraged
to respond to the morning Bible reading through hands-on work.
This year we are blessed to have the help of illustrators Carrie and
Yarrow Cheney preparing original artwork on the parables for the children!
See you in worship!
