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.

Faith Promise Sunday
Faith Promise is a way to give regularly throughout the year to Nazarene Missions. Nazarene’s call it the World Evangelism Fund (WEF). The money supports salaries, benefits, and training for missionaries; global publications; as well as regional and global leadership offices and staff.
Faith Promise pledges are given above the tithe. The amount is between yourself and God. All ages are encouraged to participate. No amount is too small. Pray about what God would want you to give to expand His Kingdom throughout the world.
Please use the form enclosed in the bulletin to make your Faith Promise pledge.
National Ave Trick or Treat
Bring in some candy for the “Trick or Treat on National Avenue.” Our church will be there to participate. We passed out candy to about 1,000 kids last year. It was a fun time to meet the community and share a positive influence.
To show the importance of God in our community, we will also be having a prayer station by our candy. We will need volunteers to pray for those who stop by to be prayed with. If you would like to help pass out candy or pray for/with others, sign up on the bulletin board. This event happens on October 31 from 5-7pm
