Get ready for All Together Sunday: Sunday September 6th!
Six times a year we have Sunday morning "family services" at both 9am and 10:30. (This is similar to our Christmas Weekend and Resurrection Sunday services in the past).
On these Sundays, there will not be separate programming for kids (no 2-4 year olds, CORE or 4REAL Worship) so that all ages can worship together in the Worship Center.
Are you concerned about your child sitting through the service ? An activity page will be available, the Nursery will be open for ages 0-24 months, and the Family Room will be available.
