If you have prayer requests, fill out the yellow prayer card and pass it to the inside aisle for collection during the first hymn. Gift bags for first-time worshipers will be provided by the ushers during our ritual of welcoming.
Ushers can help with providing large print hymnals and hearing devices. They can also assist children and families with the Kid’s Pack and direct families with children to the Nursery, or to our Family Room located in the balcony. Parents with children will find an additional Family Room located in the Chapel, just outside of the sanctuary. Parents can stay connected to worship through video, and children can move around in a child-friendly space.
Children’s Church is available for children ages 3-7 as noted in the Order of Worship. If this is your child’s first time in Children’s Church, please plan to walk him or her to Room 210 to sign in.
