For our families with children
If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.
On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.
Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.
Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.
Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

National Ave Trick or Treat
It’s time to start gathering candy to help our church participate in the “Trick or Treat on National Avenue.” This event will be Friday, October 31 form 5-7pm. We passed out candy to about 1000 kids last year. It was a fun time to meet the community and share a positive influence. There will be a collection box for candy in the foyer next Sunday.

Your commitment to guiding souls is truly admirable. Your influence shapes lives. Thank You!!

Church Night for Teen Sports
We are having a “church night” to show our support for some of our teens. Monday, September 29 is a girls’ volleyball game (Clay City vs North Clay) at North Clay Middle School. Caroline Schafer is playing at 6pm (7th grade), Audrey Schafer is playing at 7pm (8th grade), and Staci Schafer is one of the coaches for Clay City. Let’s wear a church T-shirt (if you have one), and try to sit together. As we cheer on the Schafer’s, we can have a little fellowship and represent our church at a school activity. There will be a cost to get into the game: ~$5-7.
